Son Heung-min’s 86th-minute winner has helped Tottenham get their Champions League qualification hopes back on track with a 2-1 home victory over Luton. 

Ange Postecoglou’s side trailed Luton from the third minute when Tahith Chong rifled them ahead extending their wait for a first clean sheet since October.

Tottenham have now failed to score during the first half for seven home games in a row, but Postecoglou’s team produced another second-half rally thanks to the Australian’s introduction of substitute Brennan Johnson.

Johnson set up Issa Kabore’s 51st-minute own goal and teed up Son four minutes from time to help the hosts bounce back from their Fulham humbling two weeks ago with a much-needed victory.

Son’s 15th goal came a matter of days after he travelled halfway across the world to feature in South Korea’s World Cup qualifiers with Thailand.

Postecoglou said: “I am sure he feels tired. Yeah, absolutely. It’s tough. When I was national team coach of Australia, we had quite a few players playing this side of the world.

“They’re long trips, there is time difference but like I said before he never looks for those clutches, Sonny.

“For him when he is available, he wants to play to the highest possible level and he keeps doing it.

Later on Saturday fourth-placed Aston Villa restored their three-point advantage over Spurs with a routine 2-0 win over Wolves. 

Luton loss dropped them into the bottom three after Nottingham Forest took a point at home to Crystal Palace, New Zealand’s Chris Wood scoring their equaliser. 

Fellow strugglers Everton lost 2-1 at Bournemouth due to Seamus Coleman’s stoppage-time own goal after Beto’s 87th-minute equaliser, but Burnley drew at Chelsea with ten men.

Cole Palmer scored twice for Chelsea, the first from a hotly contested penalty. Lorenz Assignon was sent off for a second yellow card after dragging down Mykhailo Mudryk and coach Vincent Kompany was dismissed for his vehement protest.

But goals from Josh Cullen and Dara O’Shea earned Burney a point.

Substitute Harvey Barnes’ stunning 90th-minute strike fired Newcastle United to a remarkable  victory over West Ham United as the Magpies fought back to win 4-3.

Newcastle, who had led through Alexander Isak’s sixth-minute penalty, trailed 3-1 at St. James’ Park with just 13 minutes remaining after goals from Michail Anthony, Mohammed Kudus and Jarrod Bowen.

A second Isak penalty halved the deficit before Barnes levelled at 3-3 with seven minutes then struck the winner before teammate Anthony Gordon was sent off for a second yellow card.

There were six second-half goals at Bramall Lane where Sheffield United and Fulham drew 3-3 after the hosts blew a 3-1 lead.
