Tottenham were dealt a double blow against Southampton as Harry Kane injured himself while scoring a goal that was ruled out for offside by VAR.
With Tottenham chasing the game at St Mary's on New Year's Day following Danny Ings' first-half strike, Kane stretched to finish a Christian Eriksen free-kick from close range.
However, Kane pulled up immediately after volleying home, and clutched his left hamstring as Southampton fans breathed a sigh of relief after the goal was ruled out for offside.
Kane limped off in clear pain as a lengthy VAR check determined that the spurs striker was in fact offside, and the nature in which Kane left the pitch suggests Jose Mourinho could be without the striker for a stretch of games.
Spurs will hope that Kane's hamstring problem was a mere tweak of the muscle, but Mourinho will face a nervous wait to discover the extent of the damage a game against with Premier League leaders Liverpool on January 11.
One silver lining for Spurs is that Heung-min Son will be ready to return from a three-game suspension against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on January 5th, with the South Korean well rested after sitting out the festive fixtures.
