LONDON — Southampton completed a rejuvenating holiday schedule with a superb Danny Ings goal earning them a 1-0 win over stuttering Tottenham Hotspur at St Mary’s on Wednesday. Ings fooled former Southampton defender Toby Alderweireld with a great piece of skill to fire the hosts in front in the 17th minute and a labored Tottenham rarely threatened. While Tottenham’s players looked low on energy and lacking spark after a typically hectic festive fixture list, Southampton are unlikely to moan about the workload. Tottenham, who have now gone a year without keeping a clean sheet away from home, remain in sixth place, six points behind Chelsea who occupy fourth spot. I had bad words,” Mourinho said of his caution for appearing to go into the home technical area to have words with Southampton staff.
