Tottenham overcame the absence of its injured star striker to record its 10th straight Premier League home victory as it beat Southampton 2-1 Sunday at White Hart Lane. The Saints lost in-form striker Manolo Gabbiadini, who was forced off moments before the second goal with a groin strain. The second half was better. Southampton channeled its frustration into an improved performance after the break and was rewarded seven minutes into the second half. Southampton went in search of an equalizer and made Tottenham uncomfortable but failed to create clear openings.
