Premier League: winner on the edge of Luton, Tottenham takes fourth place

Tottenham, quickly leading, overthrew promoted Luton (2-1) late on thanks to their captain Heung-Min Son on Saturday, a result which allows Spurs to take fourth place while awaiting the upcoming match at Aston Villa . The north London club have 56 points, a game in hand against Chelsea and a better goal difference against fifth-placed Aston Villa before hosting Wolverhampton late this afternoon.

Luton's reception, however, started badly: the current first relegated team opened the scoring through Tahith Chong after two minutes and nineteen seconds (3rd, 0-1) following a counter-attack initiated by Andros Townsend and extended with a blind pass by Ross Barkley for the scorer.

Tottenham seemed cursed with a triple scoring opportunity in the 20th minute. A shot from Son was repelled by two posts, a shot from Timo Werner was blocked by Issa Kaboré and another from Pape Matar Sarr released on his line by defender Teden Mengi (20th). In the second half, Ange Postecoglou's team managed to turn the tide, first with a strong cross from the incoming Brennan Johnson catapulted into his own goal by Issa Kaboré (51st, 1-1), then with the Son's 160th goal in the Spurs jersey (86th, 2-1).
