Son Heung-Min rescues Spurs with late winner against Luton Town
Tottenham Hotspur had to dig deep and come through against Rob Edward’s Luton Town at the weekend as Ange Postecoglou’s side came from behind to earn a 2-1 win in the dying minutes.
Spurs once again demonstrated their tenacity when captain Heung-Min Son scored a late goal to keep the Champions League hopes at N17 alive. The hosts went down in the third minute when former Manchester United midfielder Tahith Chong struck an opening goal to give Luton a surprise early lead.
The Lilywhites came back in a brilliant fashion, as second-half virtuosity proved enough to secure three points and two goals. Half-time substitute Brennan Johnson’s skimmed a cross that found Issa Kabore, who accidentally redirected the ball into his own net, leveling the score at 1-1 in the 51st minute.
While the game was staring shared points in the eye, it was once again the South Korean superhero with his heroics to salvage Spurs out of trouble. Son Heung-Min scored the winner in the 86th minute as the hosts earned three points to propel Tottenham’s pursuit of a coveted top-four finish.
The Son Heung-Min impact
