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.

Berry meets Doughty's delivery from the set-piece with a powerful looping header, but can't get the direction right and sends his effort wide of the near post!

BLOCKED!!! Townsend plays a one-two with Berry from a Hatters' throw-in and whips a pinpoint cross towards the far post. It falls for Doughty, whose left-footed volley is on target before being blocked behind for a corner off Porro!

Chong looks to cut inside and set off on the break for Luton over halfway, but he's cut down from behind by Bissouma in a poor challenge reminiscient of the one which saw him sent off for two yellow cards at Kenilworth Road.

Luton have won five, drawn one and lost three of the games they've been 1-0 up in at any point this season, the most recent of which saw them lose 4-3 to Bournemouth despite being 3-0 up away from home!

Son has a pop at goal with an left-footed strike from the edge of the area, but it's blocked easily enough by Chong and loops wide of the target for a corner!

Sarr plays in Son as the Spurs captain makes a run into the box, but he can't bring the ball under control after being crowded out, and Kaminski collects for Luton!

Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 10 league games against Luton, and are looking to complete their first league double over the Hatters since 1983-84.

Spurs have options queuing up on the edge of the box as Son, Maddison and Werner all refrain from shooting, but the latter's square pass for Bissouma is intercepted by Berry!
