Spurs' late rescue of the game means a fourth straight victory, and continues their unbeaten start to stay second in the table. At the other end, a fourth defeat in five leaves Sheffield United in 17th, ahead of Everton in the bottom three on goal difference only. We're off now, after that rollercoaster of a game, but with both of these sides back in action before too long, we'll see you for the next one.

Richarlison's introduction late in the game proved to be the difference-maker for Ange Postecoglou, as the Brazilian bagged the goal and assist which rescued the points. Brought on with just 10 minutes of normal time to go, Richarlison headed home a equaliser with just 0.12 xG behind it, and laid on the assist for Kulusevski's winner with his only key pass. Three of five aerial duels won in just over 25 minutes on the pitch was crucial for keeping the ball deep in the final third, and that late cameo is the exact performance Richarlison needed to re-gain confidence in his football.

What. A. Finish to a Premier League fixture, as 117 pulsating minutes end with three Totteham points. Well into added time, Spurs were 1-0 down thanks to Gustavo Hamer's well-taken opener in the 73rd minute, but a raft of late substitutions made all the impact in added time. 12 allocated minutes of added time was thrown into chaos after Richarlison equalised for Spurs, popping up two minutes later to set up Dejan Kulusevski's winner. With the Spurs fans in a frenzy and both sets of players out on their feet, three more yellow cards, including a second for Oli McBurnie, were shown, as Spurs held on in a game which will live long in the memory.

GOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!!! Third. Time. Lucky!!! Another late Spurs corner is swung into the box, and this time it's on the money, as Richarlison rises at the front post to head beyond Foderingham and into the back of the net!! 1-1 in the dying minutes, but this game could still have one final twist in store!

GOOOOOOOAAAAALLLL!!! Oh my goodness!!! Spurs win it right at the death, and what a way to do it! Possession is won in the final third and comes to Richarlison. He cuts it back to Kulusevski, who sets himself before slamming the ball into the top-left corner, and pandemonium ensues! The stadium is absolutely bouncing to its very foundations as Spurs take a late, late 2-1 lead, and they've somehow snatched victory from the jaws of defeat!

HE'S OFF!! McBurnie's not happy with the referee's decision there, and tells him as much. The referee responds with a second yellow card for the striker, who is sent off and leaves his side down to 10 men!

Perisic is penalised for a stray elbow on Basham, giving the Blades a free-kick, but they're caught offside from the ball into the box and the entire stadum breathes a massive sigh of relief!
