manager Ralph Hasenhuttl believes his team put in the best performance of his career in beating Tottenham and jeopardizing the hosts' chances of qualifying for the Champions League.
Che Adams scored the game-winning goal in the 82nd minute, barely three minutes after Mohamed Elyounoussi leveled the score with a near-identical goal against Hugo Lloris.
When Southampton defender Jan Bednarek was under pressure from Son Heung-min after Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's cut-back, he turned the ball into his own net to open the score.
Soon after, Armando Broja equalized for the visitors, who had a commanding first-half performance in which Romain Perraud also hit the crossbar.
After struggling to contain Southampton before the interval, the hosts improved and Son put them back in front, only for Hasenhuttl's side to score twice in the closing 11 minutes.
In stoppage time, Steven Bergwijn thought he had scored a thrilling equalizer, but the substitute had strayed barely offside.
Hassenhuttl, who joined Southampton in 2018, said Match of the Day following his 500th game as a manager, "We played excellent football and deserved to take something."
"We believed in ourselves, and the team's mentality and character are incredible to watch; they are battling for everything."
