86' GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Luton Town (Son)

The clock had ticked into the 86th minute when Heung-min Son collected the ball deep in his own half and summoned the energy for another forward run.

Tottenham had hammered away at Luton for most of the second half, having gone behind early in the game and then equalised soon after half time.

Son released Timo Werner and kept on running. Werner found a change of pace and crossed the ball low from the left. Brennan Johnson poked it back and the Spurs captain arrived to find the net with the help of a deflection.

Relief washed around the stadium. Not for the first time this season, Ange Postecoglou’s team made hard work of victory against determined opponents but they refused to give up and their rewards came late in the game.

It is very much the pattern of their season, just as late goals have become a hallmark of Luton’s. Last time out, they salvaged a point against Nottingham Forest.

This time they lost one and Spurs bagged three, an important victory after a 3-0 defeat Fulham that will refuel their chase for the Champions
