90' +6
FULL-TIME: Tottenham 3-2 Southampton
90' +5
Brilliant from Fernandes. A nice flick beats Bertrand, encouraging a tackle from Hojbjerg, and Fernandes stays down long enough to run a little more time off the clock.
90' +4
Southampton, who dominated for so long, just cannot get a hold of the ball. Tottenham have the visitors right where they want them: in their own half.
90' +2
Vestergaard is now playing up front for Southampton as a target man. Tottenham are battling away at the back to keep Saints out, though.
90' +1
There will be a minimum of five minutes of added time. Can Southampton rally again?
90'
D. Sánchez enters the game and replaces R. Sessegnon.
SUB: A defensive switch as Mourinho attempts to protect this narrow advantage. Sanchez replaces Sessegnon, with Tanganga moving out to left-back.
Southampton scramble to clear inside the area after Lucas Moura bursts away. Redmond is among the players back there, before Ings retreats to win a free-kick.
87'
Penalty goal scored by Son Heung-Min for Tottenham Hotspur!
GOAL!! Is that the winner?! 3-2 Spurs! Harry Kane usually takes these spot-kicks, but Son keeps his cool and tucks his finish inside the left-hand post. It's harsh on Southampton, but the pressure had been building.
86'
A. Gunn gets yellow.
YELLOW: Gunn protests his innocence but goes into the book and will face the penalty.
85'
C. Adams gets yellow.
YELLOW: Another Saints booking. Adams barges into Aurier, his frustration getting the better of him.
84'
Oriol Romeu gets yellow.
YELLOW: Lucas Moura has been a threat throughout and he wins a foul from Romeu, prompting a booking.
Dier gets to the byline and forces a corner as Vestergaard blocks. Tottenham are really pushing, but Alderweireld towers a header a long way over from Son's cross.

Description
82'
Tottenham are keeping the ball for the first time. Southampton have the quality to break, as they showed with the second goal, but this is undoubtedly the home side's best spell.
81'
C. Adams enters the game and replaces S. Long.
SUB: Long comes back onto the field but only very briefly, making way for Adams.
78'
Lucas Moura has scored a goal for Tottenham Hotspur! Assist by D. Alli.
GOAL!! Lovely, lovely goal! It's 2-2! Out of nothing, Lucas Moura dances into space just inside the area and sweeps a right-footed finish into the bottom-left corner. Will that wake Tottenham up?! They're back in this.
Alli was just onside as he took a pass from deep and played the ball into Lucas Moura's path. It's a nice interchange completely out of keeping with the rest of this Tottenham display.
77'
Nice skill from Sessegnon wins a corner on the left. But Tottenham go short and then Southampton clear a belated cross at the second attempt. Tottenham build again.
76'
Southampton are working so hard. The play opens up for Lucas Moura to shoot from 25 yards, but it's Ings of all people back there to challenge him. Tottenham keep pushing, yet Southampton have players everywhere.
75'
No penalty for Southampton. Bertrand hares after a Redmond pass and gets there ahead of Lloris, but the full-back runs the ball out of play as the goalkeeper pulls out of the challenge.
73'
Southampton are playing with such confidence and there is little sign of them going back into their shell now.
72'
D. Ings has scored a goal for Southampton! Assist by N. Redmond.
This is Tottenham's best spell. Son gets down the left and crosses, and Vestergaard's clearance is untidy, dropping behind for a corner. Gunn has to come to punch the set-piece.
GOAL!! Southampton have the lead they deserve! 2-1! It's Ings! Their form man has a clinical finish at the end of a rapid break, Tottenham's ambition from the corner punished ruthlessly.
Redmond carries the ball right into the Tottenham half before picking out Ings. There was still plenty of work to do, but it was wonderful play by the winger.
71'
The ball breaks to Dier 25 yards from goal, with Tottenham pushing Southampton back, but a powerful shot is deflected high and wide. The corner is headed clear.
69'
Tottenham have scarcely improved since the two substitutions. An incisive move up the centre of the field comes to nothing when Aurier's cross is blocked, the home players and crowd getting increasingly frustrated.
67'
S. Armstrong enters the game and replaces S. Boufal.
SUB: Boufal, who missed the biggest Southampton chance of this second half, makes way for Armstrong in a direct switch.
65'
The Southampton fans are making all the noise, jeering every poor Tottenham touch. The visiting side are well on top, as they have been since the first whistle.
63'
Tottenham have been so poor at the back. Boufal makes up for a careless touch with a tackle on Son, and Southampton find it so easy to break. Romeu's big switch finds Ings, and Southampton quickly have a corner.
61'
D. Alli enters the game and replaces T. Ndombélé.
SUB: Another Tottenham change. Alli replaces Ndombele. Vertonghen, the previous man replaced, is still sat in silence on the bench, apparently upset by his early substitution.
Awkward from Lloris! Boufal crosses from the right and the goalkeeper punches with his wrong arm, sending the ball to Redmond on the left. His shot is blocked and then, when Son's counter is halted, the winger crosses from a similar area and Lloris gathers.
59'
Gedson Fernandes gets yellow.
YELLOW: Tottenham pen Southampton in with a couple of blocked shots, but the visitors then have the opportunity to break. Boufal beats Fernandes on the wing and wins a free-kick. The substitute is booked.
57'
Long is furious. He believes he should have a corner. Stephens does really well to keep the ball in play on the right and swings in a low cross that Long attempts to turn towards goal. Alderweireld blocks, but a goal-kick is given.
55'
J. Bednarek gets yellow.
YELLOW: Cynical from Bednarek, but he will take this booking. Lucas Moura spins his marker and sets off towards goal, only for Bednarek to tug him back.
54'
Gedson Fernandes enters the game and replaces J. Vertonghen.
SUB: Despite the big miss a few moments ago, Mourinho simply had to change something. He does. Vertonghen is off for Fernandes in an apparent change of shape.
49'
Great play again from Southampton. Ings picks the ball up on the left and runs across the area but cannot work an angle for a shot. They stay patient. Finally, a cross from the left finds Hojbjerg, who heads over. It was a good chance, but he looked to have pushed his marker. The VAR may well have intervened.
47'
Tottenham have really struggled to keep the ball today. Southampton are quickly back on the front foot at the start of the second half.
46'
KICK-OFF: Son gets us back under way for the second half
45' +5
HALF-TIME: Tottenham 1-1 Southampton
45' +3
Bednarek again! Magnificent! Son feeds Aurier and gets a return pass around 12 yards from goal. Son lines up a shot in front of goal, but Bednarek gets back and intercepts. Son briefly stays down, although it was he who fouled Bednarek if anything, before getting to his feet.
45' +2
Southampton move the ball nicely on the edge of the Tottenham area and it is finally Redmond who gets space 20 yards out to shoot. He leaves Winks behind but blazes over. It is a really poor effort in a great position.
45' +1
There will be a minimum of four additional minutes at the end of this first half, largely due to the Ward-Prowse injury.
45'
A repeat! Son leads the attack this time, three on two, but he takes too long, and Bednarek intervenes. Son looked to be set to slide Aurier in.
44'
Big challenge from Bednarek! A Southampton corner from the left is cleared, and Lucas Moura leads a counter. Southampton are getting men back, though, and Bednarek's well-timed tackle halts his opponent.
43'
A sloppy spell sees each team cede possession quickly under intense pressure, the quality then lacking at key moments.
41'
That seemingly serious Ward-Prowse injury just stifled the atmosphere, but Southampton are maintaining control of the ball.
40'
J. Vestergaard enters the game and replaces J. Ward-Prowse.
SUB: Indeed, here comes Vestergaard. It would appear Stephens will move to right-back.
35'
Tottenham have not really got going. Their goal was a gift and they have otherwise been on the back foot throughout. Southampton are pushing again.
34'
S. Long has scored a goal for Southampton!
GOAL!! It's 1-1! Long! Lloris has given Southampton every opportunity to score with his poor handling, and his latest parry grants Long the simplest of finishes. Redmond twists in the area and shoots low, and Lloris pushes the ball out to Long.
32'
And again from Stephens! Lucas Moura links up with Sessegnon on the left, the Brazilian then dancing past Ward-Prowse towards goal. Stephens steps in to good effect.
30'
Great challenge from Stephens! Son is fed by Aurier on the right-hand side of the area, and the Tottenham forward looks to chop past the defender and go for goal. Stephens stands firm and tackles well.
29'
Good work from Tanganga. Ings pounces on Bertrand's low cross in the Tottenham area, but Tanganga just muscles the striker off the ball, seeing it behind for a goal-kick.
28'
Ward-Prowse does really well to get back and halt Lucas Moura as the Tottenham man moves at pace into the Southampton area. But under pressure, Ward-Prowse concedes a corner. Southampton clear.
26'
More Southampton pressure. Ward-Prowse crosses low and Tottenham just about clear. A corner comes in from the right, but Stephens cannot direct his header on goal, and a second cross is gathered by Lloris.
23'
After a nervy stretch after the goal, Southampton are in control again. They must take their chances, though, as Tottenham look dangerous on the break, and another home goal would take this game away from Ralph Hasenhuttl's men.
22'
Tottenham rode their luck but won against City on Sunday - and it has very much been more of the same so far here. Spurs are in front thanks to an unfortunate own goal, but Southampton have had three or four big chances.
18'
Lovely skill from Ndombele. He appears a little unsure with an initial nutmeg, but then drags the ball away from Romeu in the centre of the field and wins a foul. The Tottenham midfielder takes a little time to get back to his feet, though, holding his back.
16'
Spurs are pressing high, too, now. It means space for Ings and Long when Southampton break through, but the visitors are finding things a little tough now.
14'
Tottenham's pace in attack is causing Southampton some concern. The visitors have played the better football and, until that opener, enjoyed the better chances, but some fairly desperate defending led to that strike.
12'
J. Stephens is unfortunate, scores an own goal!
OWN GOAL!! Stephens turns in Ndombele's shot!1-0 Spurs! Southampton have been by far the better side, but Winks feeds Sessegnon in behind, causing Stephens some real problems. A scrambling challenge sees the ball break to Ndombele, whose low wayward shot deflects off Stephens and into the net.
9'
Southampton are comfortable in possession until an ambitious Ward-Prowse pass is cut out. Lucas Moura breaks, but Aurier slows the attack. Spurs build again.
8'
A Southampton corner from the right is not cleared particularly convincingly, but visitors fail to find a way through when Boufal carries the ball towards the Tottenham area.
5'
Great play from Ings! In a move similar to his stunning winner against Spurs at St Mary's in January, the striker lobs a defender with his first touch and then slams in a left-footed shot. Lloris gathers, though.
4'
Easy stop for Gunn. Tottenham are looking to break at speed, and Dier's quick free-kick allows the hosts to swiftly free Son on the left. He tees up Sessegnon, but the shot is straight at Gunn.
3'
Southampton's attempts to enjoy some early possession are disrupted by Lucas Moura's pressing. It's a little scrappy so far.
2'
Rather than a four-man defence with Tanganga at left-back, Tottenham look to have gone for a back five. Tanganga is to the right of Alderweireld in the centre of defence, while Sessegnon starts at left-wing-back.

KICK-OFF: Southampton's Romeu gets us under way at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!
Hello and welcome to our live text commentary of the final FA Cup fourth-round replay between Tottenham and Southampton!
A late Sofiane Boufal equaliser in the initial tie enforced this match, cancelling out Son Heung-min's opener for Spurs at St Mary's Stadium. The winners here will host Norwich City in the fifth round.
Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho has won the FA Cup once, 13 years ago, and this appears to represent his best hope of silverware in his first season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Let's get the team news...
Subs: Paulo Gazzaniga, Davinson Sanchez, Dennis Cirkin, Oliver Skipp, Gedson Fernandes, Dele Alli, Troy Parrott.
Tottenham (4-3-3): Hugo Lloris; Serge Aurier, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen, Japhet Tanganga; Eric Dier, Harry Winks, Tanguy Ndombele; Ryan Sessegnon, Lucas Moura, Son Heung-min.
Southampton (4-4-2): Angus Gunn; James Ward-Prowse, Jack Stephens, Jan Bednarek, Ryan Bertrand; Sofiane Boufal, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Oriol Romeu, Nathan Redmond; Danny Ings, Shane Long.
Subs: Harry Lewis, Jake Vokins, Jannik Vestergaard, Will Smallbone, Stuart Armstrong, Michael Obafemi, Che Adams.
Tottenham were completely overrun for long stretches of that opening period and surely cannot be as bad again after the break. Might Mourinho look to change things? Alli is on the bench.
Tottenham can head into their mid-season break in high spirits, next playing against Aston Villa in 11 days' time. Southampton play the previous day against Burnley. This defeat will hurt until then.
That's all from this one, a dramatic Tottenham win. Thanks for joining us and, until next time, goodbye!
