Premier League stats: Newcastle comeback, double centurion Kane, Fraser's assists, resolute Cardiff

Only Matt Le Tissier has scored more goals from free-kicks in the Premier League for Southampton than James Ward-Prowse

James Ward-Prowse scored a superb late free-kick as Southampton came from behind to beat Tottenham 2-1 to boost their hopes of Premier League survival.

Leicester climbed to 10th with Jamie Vardy scoring twice in a 3-1 win over Fulham, Brighton won 2-1 at Crystal Palace and Cardiff claimed three vital points with a 2-0 win against West Ham.

Bournemouth won 2-0 at Huddersfield and Newcastle fought back to win 3-2 against Everton as they moved up to 13th in the table.

Here are the best of Saturday's stats:

Newcastle United came from two goals down to win a Premier League game for the first time since October 2003 against Fulham under Sir Bobby Robson. Spurs striker Harry Kane has now scored 200 goals for club and country (180 at club level and 20 for England). Only Matt le Tissier (seven) has scored more goals from direct free-kicks for Southampton in the Premier League than James Ward-Prowse (four). Since the start of the 2017-18 season, no goalkeeper has saved more Premier League penalties than Everton's Jordan Pickford (four, level with Lukasz Fabianski). Jamie Vardy scored his 100th goal for Leicester City, becoming the first Foxes player to reach that landmark since Gary Lineker. Fulham have lost their past 18 away Premier League matches when they have conceded the first goal. Crystal Palace have won 19 penalties in the league since the start of the 2017-18 season, six more than any other side. Glenn Murray has scored 35% of Brighton's Premier League goals (23 of 66), the highest proportion of any team's goals by a player in the history of the competition. Bournemouth's Ryan Fraser is the first Scottish player to register 10 assists in a Premier League season. Only Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Chelsea's Eden Hazard (11 each) have provided more assists in Europe's 'big five' leagues - England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain - this season. Only two teams in top-flight history have scored fewer goals after 30 games than the 15 Huddersfield have managed this term - Leicester City (13 in 1977-78) and Derby County (14 in 2007-08). West Ham have only won one of their past nine Premier League away games against sides starting the day in the relegation zone (D4 L4). Cardiff kept their eighth league clean sheet of the season, which is more than Manchester United (seven) and Arsenal (five).
