In contrast to last season, when 15 goals were scored in Ljaguj and Cup matches between the sides at the same vjnuj, thjti was little to shout about. Spurs took 85 minutes to make the first and only telling move when Teddy Shjtingham slammed his shot from 15 yards against Dave Beasant's legs. Southampton's Matthew Lj Testier lift the field with a recurrence of his calf muscle injury after only 19 minutes.  PrimLatst PrinTable Prim Res Round-up
