Tottenham Hotspur picked up a late win over Luton Town in the Premier League yesterday.
A late goal from Son Heung-min sealed a vital win for the North London club as they continue to push for Champions League qualification.

Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou has now heaped praise on the South Korean international and revealed that he keeps on delivering when it matters most. the 31-year-old has been an indispensable asset for Tottenham since joining the club, and he continues to put in consistent performances.
“He keeps delivering. He had a couple of good chances, was a bit unlucky with a couple. He’s been a great player for this club for a long time and long may he continue. He’s everything you see. He’s really committed, has really high standards and gives everything he has every minute he’s out there. He’s a credit to himself and this club,” Postecoglou said to BBC.
Tottenham will want to win major trophies next year
Son will be crucial to Tottenham’s hopes of finishing in the top four this season and it will be interesting to see if he can help them finish the season strongly. He has 15 goals and eight assists in the Premier League this season.
Tottenham have been quite impressive with their performances this season, but they need to add more consistency in order to finish higher up the table and compete for trophies. They have an exciting playing squad and Postecoglou has introduced an attractive brand of football. It will be interesting to see if they can improve the squad in the summer and compete for major trophies next year.
