Matter of stats | Southampton vs Spurs - all eyes on Sonny at St Mary's

Heung-Min Son has more goals and joint-most assists in the Premier League against Southampton - and he has a Club record in his sight as we return to St Mary's on Sunday (7pm UK).

Sonny has racked up 10 goals against the Saints - don't forget, he once scored four in a game at St Mary's - and his five assists are level with his assists against Manchester City.

With 66 assists in total for us in the Premier League, Sonny is one away from equalling Darren Anderton's Club record of 67, which has stood for 20 years. Indeed, with Darren joining us at the start of the Premier League era (1992/93), it's unlikely he's ever been off the number one spot in terms of assists!

Watch - Sonny's four goals at St Mary's
