31′ – GOAL! Tottenham Hotspur 1-1 Southampton: Tadic crosses in to Davis, who squeezes a first time shot past Lloris from a tight angle. We wanted to send the fans home happy.
“It is in our hands, we just have to win at Newcastle and then its job done”.
Arsenal midfielder Wilshere told the London Evening Standard: “We all knew the Spurs result (before the City game) and of course that motivates us. The fans are urging us on”. They were great again yesterday.

“We want to finish second, that is our aim”. We aren’t focusing on any team but ourselves.
Victory over the Saints would have all but guaranteed Spurs runners up spot but a Steven Davis double completed Southampton’s fightback to boost their hopes of Europa League qualification after Heung-min Son’s early strike. “It’s been a long season and this defeat wasn’t because of [last] Monday”.

“It has been a long season”.
“We have been fighting hard, mentally and physically, but I still think we looked good out there against Southampton”.

“We all know what it means”. It was our last game at home and we tried to win, i’m disappointed for us.
