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.

Clark drifts over from right to left and plays a one-two with Chong before crossing, but the offside flag is raised to penalise him just as Vicario collects the aerial ball.

OVER!!! Bentancur finds Johnson running in behind Doughty, and the Spurs winger stands up his Luton counterpart before teeing up Porro. The full-back arrives onto the ball and shoots first-time, but is leaning back as he does so and puts it over the bar!!

CHANCE!!! Bentancur's first-time cross into the Luton box is really threatening, with both Son and Werner attacking it. The latter heads back across the face, but no-one can make much of it until Johnson wins a corner!!

Porro makes a smart run in behind the Hatters' defence and is found by Sarr, but his square ball towards Werner is cut out by Kabore on the edge of the box.

SAVED!!! Townsend wins and takes a Luton corner on the right-hand side, which is met and punched away by Tottenham goalkeeper Vicario. It lands at the feet of the substitute Clark, who fizzes a low half-volley towards the bottom corner and forces Vicario into a last-ditch save!!

Kaminski has stayed down in the goalmouth after colliding with his own post in keeping out a dipping cross from Porro, but gets back to his feet with Luton readying their latest substitute.
