TOTTENHAM VERSUS LUTON LIVE: SPURS FIGHTING FOR TOP FOUR RETURN

Heung-min Son's late winner saw Tottenham snatch all three points with a 2-1 victory over a stubborn Luton in north London.

The Hatters took a shock lead inside three minutes as Andros Townsend's clever cross picked out Tahith Chong, whose rifled effort nestled in the net to silence the home crowd.

Spurs almost struck straight back, but their captain Son could only find the foot of both posts with an angled effort on goal after rounding Thomas Kaminski, before Yves Bissouma's follow-up was cleared off the line by Teden Mengi.

The hosts finally found a leveller just five minutes after the interval as Pedro Porro's whipped cross looked destined for Timo Werner before Luton's Issa Kabore smashed the ball into his own net.

The two sides went in search of a winner. Ross Barkley and Jordan Clarke almost restored Luton's lead, forcing two smart stops from Guglielmo Vicario. And Brennan Johnson's effort from point-blank range was saved by Kaminski and cleared off the line by Alfie Doughty by the finest of margins.

But it was Spurs who found a second just five minutes from time, as Johnson brilliantly teed up Son on the edge of the box and Tottenham's talisman fired past a stranded Kaminski for all three points.

Son snatches all three points for Spurs in a 2-1 win over a stubborn Luton.

A great game of football with both sides going for the win. Tottenham return to the top four, at least until Villa play this evening.

Luton were so close to escaping here with a point, and their frustration shows. Morris is pulling shirts as Doughty swings in a free-kick.

Barkley's as red as a Strawberry. Can they snatch an equaliser?

Kabore, who scored the own goal, almost makes that happen with a brilliant run down the right. He picks out Clarke, but the substitute cannot find a team mate and Johnson's there to clear. Close.

Richarlison looks like he's through on goal, but Barkley's there to make a last-ditch challenge.

Minutes earlier, Johnson struck over the bar.

Should be three!

Still plenty of time!

The goalscorer makes way as Spurs shore up their defence!

It's been coming!!

Spurs may just have won it thanks to their captain. A lightning breakaway, started by the South Korea, finds Werner on the left. The German surges forward and picks out Johnson who brilliantly lays off Son to strike home.

Great goal.

Spurs go for it!

You can feel the frustration inside the ground. How has that not gone in?

Spurs go again but this time Kaminski gets two gloves on it. No goal line clearance necessary.

By the way, I've seen the replay. It's millimetres. The ball is as close to crossing the line as it could possibly be without crossing the line.

I cannot believe it! AGAIN!

Johnson's effort from ONE YARD is brilliantly and unknowingly saved by Kaminski, but the ball looks for all the world like it's heading in anyway.

After dribbling towards the post, everyone in the stadium thinks it's in before Doughty clears off the line, but the referee, with goal line tech at his disposal, doesn't blow the whistle. Incredible.

Luton make a second change with goalscorer Chong making way for Onyedinma.

We're still level in north London. Can Spurs find a winner?

Porro goes close this time as Johnson turns provider. They're knocking on the door big time.

But don't rule out Luton either, who have launched a few smart counter attacks.

Sarr and Maddison make way for Bentancur and Lo Celso.

Sarr has had an extremely quiet game.

Straight off the bench, Clarke forces a brilliant diving save from Clarke with an effort from distance.

Luton make a change.

Carnage in the Luton box. First, Johnson's effort from four yards is blocked, then Maddison's effort meets a black shirt, then Porro's deflected cross forces a diving save from Kaminski.

Mayhem.

Son tries to start a counter-attack but Mengi is smart enough to bring the South Korea and down. He manages to avoid a yellow too. Good defending.

Spurs going for it now and once again it's all through Porro whose inswinging cross picks out Son, but the South Korean can only shoot straight at Kaminski.

Porro pings an other ball across the box but this time Kabore clears. It was almost identical, I thought I was watching a replay!

Spurs equalise!

It's end to end stuff as Porro picks the ball up on the right and runs at the Luton backline. After a smart one-two, he picks out Werner at the back post, but Luton man Kabore is there instead to whack the ball into his own net.

After a brief VAR check on Porro, the goal stands!

Spurs have opted to stick Werner in their goal graphic anyway!
