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.

Only two of Maddison’s 11 Premier League goal involvements this season for Tottenham have come at home. Against newly promoted sides he’s been involved in 19 goals in his last 16 games in the top-flight (nine goals, 10 assists), setting up the winner in the reverse fixture at Kenilworth Road.

Maddison tees Udogie up to cross from the left-hand side, but his floated ball across the face isn't turned home by any team-mates in the vicinity!

Dragusin intercepts a Kabore pass to spring a Spurs counter-attack, finding Son who turns and runs forward over halfway. With Kabore out of position the South Korean looks for Werner to his left, but overhits his pass and sends it behind for a goal-kick!

Chong drops deep to assist Doughty and does his best to get away from Porro, but is eventually pulled to the floor by the Tottenham right-back and wins a free-kick on halfway.

CHANCE!!! Sarr makes another darting run forwards to get on the end of Dragusin's long pass and beats Mpanzu to fire in a cross, but no-one in white can get on the end of his ball in as it flashes across the face of goal!!

Tottenham have won nine of their last 10 Premier League games against newly promoted sides, with their only defeat coming at home against Bournemouth in April last season. At home, Spurs have scored in each of their last 40 such games since a 1-0 loss to Wolves in December 2009.

OFF THE WOODWORK!!! The entire stadium is wondering just how Spurs didn't score there!! Luton are caught short in midfield and Son bursts clear of the defence to round Kaminski in the box. He shoots, but the ball bounces off both posts and back out again, before successive follow-up shots from Werner and Sarr are blocked on the line!!! Panic stations at the back for Luton, who somehow preserve their 1-0 lead!!

Spurs are straight onto the attack after dealing with Doughty's corner and Werner is played into space down the left. He looks to cross into the middle from the edge of the box, but Kabore slides in with a perfectly-timed tackle to scythe the ball out of play!

Doughty floats a long-range Luton free-kick into the box, which is half-cleared by Spurs before Burke recovers it. He plays a one-two with Townsend and fires a cutback towards Morris from the byline, but Maddison's intervention sees the ball go behind for a corner!!
