FT
Full-time: Tottenham cruise to victory at Sheffield United, thanks to first half goals from Serge Aurier and Harry Kane, before a goal of the season contender from Tanguy Ndombele sealed victory after the restart following David McGoldrick's consolation.
90'+4
Sanchez replaces Reguilon as Spurs make another late sub.
90'+2
Close! Kane blasts over the bar from close range as Spurs miss the opportunity to make it four. Son, meanwhile, is replaced by Vinicius.

82'
Spurs have dropped to almost a back-five as they edge closer to victory.

Sheffield United only have themselves to blame today. After the victory against Newcastle, you would have expected their tails to have been up. But they have lacked energy, motivation and application.

Spurs are surely out of sight now. I could watch Ndombele's goal over and over again.
62'
GOAL! Sheffield United 1-3 Tottenham (Tanguy Ndombele): That is magnificent from Ndombele! Norwood runs into trouble once again, Bergwijn clips it over the top for Ndombele, but from a tight angle and under pressure, he has so much still to do. He gets just enough on his lob and hooks the ball into the top corner, and you have to say that is spectacular!

GOAL! Sheffield United 1-2 Tottenham (David McGoldrick): The Blades have a way back into the game! Spurs have been sitting back, inviting pressure, and how they have paid! McGoldrick gets in between Tottenham's centre-backs to meet Fleck's excellent cross and his glancing header nestles into the back of the net. Game on!

Norwood has had a nightmare today and again he's dispossessed all too easily in midfield. Bergwijn stands up a cross, Bogle doesn't get enough on his clearance but Kane fails to punish Sheffield United as he curls his shot from the edge of the box over the bar.
53'
Ramsdale races off his line in an attempt to take the ball from Son's feet but comes away with nothing. Son goes to ground but the referee Andre Marriner isn't interested in Spurs' appeals for a penalty.
51'
Close! Spurs take the free-kick quickly, with Kane trying his luck from distance. Ramsdale is caught unawares but gets a fingertip to the shot to push it over.
