Spuds get mashed!
Southampton beat Spurs 3-1 at White Hart Lane, with two goals from Beattie (that’s an average of a goal per game now) and one from Phillips. I thought we might extend our clean-sheet run (we managed over eight hours of football without leaking) but at least we won!
Saints are now fourth with 12 points — only one point behind new leaders Chelsea. All the teams above us have played a game more, though. This was already the Saints’ best start in 20 years — can it get even better? Let’s hope so! Unbeaten in six — that’s pretty impressive for a “little” team from the south coast.
Oh, and Pompey lost, which is the icing on the cake. It just wasn’t right to be below them in the table…
