If Tottenham end up qualifying for next season’s Champions League then they will probably look back on this nerve-shredding comeback victory as a crucial moment in their campaign.
Having recovered from the shock of conceding to Tahith Chong’s smart finish in the third minute thanks to an own goal from Issa Kaboré at the start of the second half, it seemed inevitable that Ange Postecoglou’s side would go on to claim all three points and remain hot on the heels of rivals Aston Villa. But despite Spurs throwing everything at Luton, including a late goalmouth scramble in which Alfie Doughty cleared the ball off the line by a matter of millimetres late on, Rob Edwards’s side looked like they had earned a crucial point until Son Heung-min struck four minutes from time to break Luton hearts.
