Harry Kane scored his 99th Premier League goal but it was not enough for Tottenham to beat Southampton in a 1-1 draw on Super Sunday
The striker moved within one of becoming the 27th Premier League centurion when equalising on 18 minutes after Davinson Sanchez had inadvertently put through his own net three minutes earlier
Both teams created chances to win it in an entertaining clash in torrential conditions on the south coast as Southampton stretched their winless run to 11 games in the Premier League
The result leaves Mauricio Pellegrino's men in the bottom three, a point from safety, while Spurs remain in fifth, two points off Liverpool in fourth, who play Swansea on 
Heading into this game, Southampton's attackers had scored a total of 12 goals from a combined 93 appearances this season
 Tottenham were in charitable mood and did the Saints' strikers job for them on 15 minutes when Sanchez turned a Ryan Bertrand cross into his own net
Pellegrino's team had scored the opening goal in three of their last four home games, but failed to win any of them
 The problem reared its head again as Spurs levelled three minutes later when Kane simply wanted it more than his marker Jack Stephens and bulleted home a header from close range
Moussa Sissoko spurned a glorious opportunity from six yards on 30 minutes while Stephens headed inches wide from an excellent James Ward-Prowse delivery six minutes later
As the rain relented, so did the clear-cut chances in the second period
Dele Alli, who was subdued, drilled a low effort wide from 20 yards while Kane tried in vain to reach his milestone but a big chance evaded his clutches
Substitute Erik Lamela nearly nicked it for Spurs late on but somehow he failed to convert from no more than three yards out after a magnificent block by Stephens
There was still time for Southampton debutant Michael Obafemi - fresh from impressing in the under-17s - to spurn the chance to be an instant hero, missing his kick from eight yards with the goal gaping
Fresh from scoring three goals in his last two games, the midfielder was in dynamic mood
 Crashing into tackles to disrupt Tottenham's flow while also providing great quality from set-pieces with his gem of a right-boot
 He really should have had an assist to his name but Stephens managed to head wide in the first-period after Ward-Prowse had put a free-kick on a plate for him
 "The players aren't fighting just for me, they are fighting for themselves and the club
 The club is bigger than me and the players
 We need to respect our fans and our board and the people that believe in us
 My first commitment is to win myself as it's my profession - I want to win every game
" "It was an even game, a difficult game to play
 In possession, we made a lot of mistakes that allowed them lots of transitions
 We created two massive chances but if you analyse the game it was a fair result
 It wasn't our best version tonight -the pitch didn't help us but it was the same for both teams
 We need to improve
"The FA Cup is back next weekend and Southampton face a clash with Watford at St Mary's while Tottenham take a trip to Sky Bet League Two side Newport County on Saturday evening
