Son rises late to win it for Tottenham
Son Heung-min’s 86th-minute winner helped Tottenham Hotspur get its UEFA Champions League qualification hopes back on track with a 2-1 home victory over Luton Town.
Luton made the perfect start in north London when Tahith Chong rifled it ahead after three minutes and Rob Edwards’ side threatened to come away with a rare win when Spurs went another first half without a goal.
While Tottenham has now failed to score during the first 45 of seven home games in a row, Ange Postecoglou’s team produced another second-half rally thanks to substitute Brennan Johnson.
Johnson set up Issa Kabore’s 51st-minute own goal and teed up Son four minutes from time to help the hosts bounce back from their Fulham humbling two weeks ago with a much-needed victory.
