Southampton 2-2 Tottenham: Chadli earns Pochetino a point on St Mary's return

Southampton twice took the lead through Graziano Pelle but were twice pegged back as they drew 2-2 with Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday.

As Mauricio Pochettino returned to the stadium that he left last summer to join Spurs, the hosts took the lead when the Italian striker capitalised on a defensive nightmare from the north Londoners, with both Ryan Mason and Ben Davies at fault.

Erik Lamela, however, got one back just before the break when his slight touch came off goalkeeper Kelvin Davis on its way through.

A powerful Pelle header restored the Saints' advantage in the second half but, five minutes later, Nacer Chadli outmuscled Maya Yoshida to fire a low shot past Davis, leaving neither side with what would have been a valuable points boost in the race for the Europa League.
