Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse recalled a light moment ahead of his equalising penalty in their 3-3 draw with Tottenham.

The 28 year old skipper netted from the spot in added time during a 3-3 draw with Tottenham Hotspur, facing an old friend in the process.

Ward-Prowse and Fraser Forster used to live next door to each other in Winchester before the goalkeeper left St Mary's for Spurs last summer.

Forster faced Saints for the first time since his exit with Spurs captain Hugo Lloris injured, but he could deny close friend Ward-Prowse when it mattered most.

Playing against Fraser, he's my best friend, played with him for many years and he was my next-door neighbour for a while," Ward-Prowse told BBC One's Match of the Day.

Playing around with my son in the garden and mucking about, he knows my penalties," the skipper said.

I was trying not to look at him because I knew I'd laugh! More importantly, it was imperative I stuck to my focus, technique and my practice and thankfully it came off."
