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.

Luke Berry’s late equaliser last time out for Luton sees him rewarded with a start in midfield, playing on the right-hand side with another new face in Andros Townsend ahead of him. Jordan Clark drops to the bench while Chiedozie Ogbene is absent altogether, and Carlton Morris leads the line as well as captaining the Hatters in north London.

Timo Werner starts on the left flank in Spurs’ only change from their 3-0 loss at Fulham, having scored in back-to-back matches against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa beforehand. Johnson is joined on the bench by Micky van de Ven, who has returned from injury and scored the only goal in Tottenham’s 1-0 win at Kenilworth Road last October.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Luton Town
Nottingham Forest’s points deduction for financial fair play breaches has seen them drop below Luton into the final relegation place, but the Hatters are still just one point clear of the trapdoor coming into this game. Rob Edwards’ side haven’t won since the end of January and only secured a draw with Forest in their last match thanks to Luke Berry’s 89th minute equaliser, but having been unlucky to not get anything out of their 1-0 defeat to Spurs in the reverse fixture, Luton might just have the confidence to secure a first league victory in two months here.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Luton Town
Spurs return from the international break with 10 games of the season to go, and the race to secure a Champions League place hotting up as a result. Having thumped an Aston Villa side directly above them 4-0 away from home, Ange Postecoglou’s side then wilted with a demoralising 3-0 defeat at Fulham in their last match. Only three points separate Villa and Spurs coming into this weekend, with the latter able to go fourth on goal difference should all results go their way.
