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.

WIDE!!! How are Spurs not level?? Attacking quickly on the break, Maddison's cross-field ball over the top is brought down at speed by Werner. He cuts inside, then back out to beat Kabore before shooting, but drills his low shot across the face of goal and agonisingly wide of the far post!

Since beating Brighton 4-0 in January, Luton are without a win in their last eight league matches. Away from home they’ve conceded at least four times in three of their last four games and four times overall – the last side to do so more times in a Premier League season was Manchester United with five in 2021-22.

Son drifts wide to play Kulusevski in behind the Luton defence, but his cutback from the byline takes a series of deflections before beihn put behind for a corner by Townsend!

Luton have won just one of their 16 top-flight away games against Tottenham, beating them 3-1 in November 1985. Their last such visit was a 4-1 defeat in November 1991, with Scott Houghton and Gary Lineker each netting a brace for Spurs.

Kulusevski and Kaminski collide as the pair chase down a throughball into the Spurs winger's feet, and it appears that the Luton goalkeeper caught some stray studs in the thigh as he collected that dangerous pass.

WIDE!!! Son and Werner combine down the left as the latter hangs up a cross from the byline. Sarr arrives at the far post to head goalwards, but can only put his effort wide of the target!
