The Reserves had a 4-0 home win over Southampton in the Football Combination at White Hart Lane, with all the goals scored in the second half.

When Glenn Hoddle chipped a cross to the far post, Steve Walford headed in to give Tottenham the lead, with that being doubled when Neil McNab’s shot form the left was poked home by Noel Brotherston.

Brotherston was on the spot to make the score 3-0 with a header, when a left wing cross came in and the 4-0 win was rounded off by Chris McGrath’s 20 yard shot.  There were opportunities to extend the lead further, but the Saints defence held out and their attack forced Barry Daines into a few saves.

Southampton earned a 1-1 draw in the Football Combination at the Lane, but the Spurs Reserves stretched their unbeaten run to 21 games.

The lead didn’t last long, with Bobby Stokes equalising soon after, but Tottenham, with Graeme Souness and Joe Peck making their debuts at this level, were guilty of failing to hit the target with their shooting opportunities.
