A Tottenham rout looked on the cards against Luton after a one-sided opening on Saturday, but the manner of their eventual 1-0 win at Kenilworth Road felt much more valuable.
This was another box ticked for Spurs under Ange Postecoglou. Down to 10 men after Yves Bissouma was sent off on the stroke of half-time, Spurs showed a new-found resilience to score in the second half and then hang on for a win that leaves them top of the table going into the international break.
