Tottenham’s second-half surge secures win against Luton Town
Tottenham backed a lackluster first half again Luton Town at the weekend with an absolute banger of a second as Ange Postecoglou’s side, yet again, come from behind to put three points on the board.
Spurs conceded a third-minute goal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to former Manchester United midfielder Tahith Chong, and the Lilywhites were on the backfoot just minutes into the game. Although conceding this early also means that you got longer to meet the trail, which is what Tottenham did,.
In the second half, Brennan Johnson ensured a shift of momentum after his fizzed cross across the goal was accidentally met by Issa Kabore, who redirected the ball into his own net, leveling the score at 1-1 in the 51st minute. While the game was staring at shared points, Son Heung-Min delivered the goods with an 86th-minute winner.
It was a game that tested the mettle of the squad, a test that builds confidence.
