Harry Kane struck his 99th Premier League goal to earn Tottenham a 1-1 draw against Southampton on Sunday but Mauricio Pochettino rued the loss of two vital points in the push for a Champions League place. The result moves Spurs to within two points of fourth-placed Liverpool, who have a game in hand, but it was not enough to lift Southampton out of the relegation zone. Kane’s goal was his ninth in his past five Premier League starts and he is now just a goal away from becoming the 27th member of the ‘100 club’. Spurs almost levelled two minutes later when Ben Davies’s corner eventually dropped to Eric Dier and he shot low against the right post. But Dele Alli saw more of the ball as the game wore on and shot low just beyond the left post after good work from Mousa Dembele.
