Only Leicester striker Jamie Vardy has scored more goals in the Premier League than Southampton's Danny Ings this season
Tottenham fell further behind in the race for a top four spot in the Premier League thanks to defeat at Southampton on Wednesday, despite rivals Chelsea being held to a draw at Brighton.
Spurs are six points behind fourth-placed Chelsea after striker Danny Ings scored Southampton's winner in the 17th minute at St Mary's.
Earlier on Wednesday, Alireza Jahanbakhsh's spectacular overhead kick earned Brighton a point late on in their 1-1 draw with Chelsea after Cesar Azpilicueta had fired in the opener from close range.
Second-placed Leicester City kicked off the new year with a comfortable 3-0 win over Newcastle at St James' Park thanks to superb goals from Ayoze Perez, James Maddison and substitute Hamza Choudhury.
Meanwhile, Watford held on to secure a 2-1 win over Wolves despite going down to 10 men in the 71st minute when Christian Kabasele was shown a straight red card for a foul on Diogo Jota.
Pedro Neto got a goal back for Wolves on the hour but it was not enough after Abdoulaye Doucoure and Gerard Deulofeu had given Watford a 2-0 lead.
In the other early kick-off, Aston Villa moved out of the relegation zone with a 2-1 victory against Burnley thanks to goals from Wesley and Jack Grealish, although VAR was at the heart of it again, ruling out a goal for the visitors in the first half for a marginal offside.
Manchester City v Everton, Norwich v Crystal Palace and West Ham v Bournemouth all kick off at 17:30 GMT, while Arsenal host Manchester United at 20:00.
