Robbie Savage has named four Saints players in his Team of the Week.
Saints completed a remarkable second-half comeback to beat Tottenham 2-1 on Saturday after Harry Kane had put the visitors ahead.
Yan Valery drew Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side level before James Ward-Prowse scored another sensational free-kick to seal the victory.
The former Premier League player and current BT Sport pundit named Angus Gunn, Ryan Bertrand, Jan Bednarek and Ward-Prowse in his best XI from the weekend's fixtures.

Gunn made some crucial saves, especially at the beginning of the second half to deny Kane doubling Spurs’ lead.
Bednarek and Bertrand were both solid at the back and did their best to try and keep the Tottenham attackers away from the Saints net.
But it was Ward-Prowse who continued his sensational form under Hasenhuttl.
The 24-year-old’s goal meant that he became England’s highest scoring midfielder this season as he took his tally to six.
That’s one more than Spurs star Dele Alli and Leicester’s James Maddison.
And it’s his six goals in nine games that make him almost certain to be included in Gareth Southgate’s England squad on Wednesday.
