Due to an own goal he scored and a mistake he made two minutes later, defender Mohammed Salisu had a sloppy start to the 2022/23 English Premier League season.
In the 62nd minute, the new Black Stars defender oddly converted on an Emerson cross to make it 3-1 Tottenham before failing to clear his lines as Dejan Kulusevski added the fourth two minutes later.
James Ward-Prowse opened the scoring for Southampton 12 minutes into the game, but Ryan Sessegnon for Tottenham equalized the score nine minutes later.
Before halftime, Eric Dier’s header gave Spurs the advantage.
The team led by Antonio Conte, one of the favorites to win the championship this year, put on a superb display.
Mohammed Salisu and his Southampton teammates, however, had a rough day at the job and will now focus on Leeds United the next week.
After coming home following a protracted self-imposed exile, Salisu decided to play for Ghana in June.
