Tottenham vs Luton LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Son completes Spurs turnaround
Re-live all the action from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min struck late on to secure a 2-1 Premier League victory over Luton Town to bolster his side’s top-four ambitions on Saturday.
Son started and finished a flowing Tottenham move in the 86th minute to leave relegation battlers Luton with nothing to show from a spirited display in north London.
Tahith Chong gave Luton a surprise early lead with Son being denied by the woodwork soon afterwards. Tottenham equalised in the 51st minute when Issa Kabore scored an own goal and the hosts’ pressure was eventually rewarded with Son’s clincher.
Tottenham moved into fourth place with 56 points, ahead of Aston Villa on goals scored although Villa were in action later at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Luton slipped back below Nottingham Forest into the relegation zone.

36 per cent of Luton’s points in the Premier League this season have come from goals in the final 10 minutes (eight of 22), more than any other side. Indeed, only Liverpool (17) and Arsenal (14) have more goals in that period in 2023-24 than the Hatters' 12. Could it be another one of those days?

SAVED!!! Spurs set sail on another fast break and Lo Celso finds Werner in space to the left. He takes on Kabore and shoots from a tight angle, but the low strike is saved and held by Kaminski!

OVER!!! The hosts win a free-kick on the left-hand side of the box, and Porro steps up to strike it. He's got crossing options aplenty, but chooses to shoot and curls a well-struck effort just over the top!

OFF THE LINE!!! Spurs were centimetres away from taking the lead there!!! Dragusin drives forward up the left flank and links up with Werner, who plays a one-two with Bentancur. The Uruguayan's cutback is struck goalwards by Johnson from close range, but the shot hits Kaminski's left arm and rolls along the goal-line before being hacked clear by Doughty!

Tottenham full-back Porro has had the most shots (37) and accumulated the highest xG (2.2) of any player yet to score in the Premier League this season, and has unsuccessfully added 0.11 to that total with two wayward attempts in this game!
