Tottenham Hotspur have come out of their game against Luton Town having now done something no other Premier League side has all season.
Once again, it was a tale of two halves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as Spurs went into the break behind to the Hatters.
Ange Postecoglou casted a frustrate figure on the sidelines throughout the first half in north London.
However, in typical Tottenham fashion, the Lilywhites started off quickly inside the second half.
What Tottenham did against Luton on Saturday
The Lilywhites are beginning to make a bit of a habit for themselves in starting off games incredibly slowly.
In addition, they are also making a habit of coming out of the traps firing in the second 45 minutes, as they did against Rob Edwards’ side.
Bringing on Brennan Johnson for Dejan Kulusevski at half-time proved a really decisive move from Postecoglou.
The Welshman changed the flow of the game in Tottenham’s favour and fired the ball into the box for Luton’s Issa Kabore to slam into his own net.
According to Sky Sports, scoring in the 51st minute of the game against Luton saw Spurs score their 15th goal inside the first 15 minutes of a second half.
Something that no other Premier League side has equalled this season.
What Ange Postecoglou said after the game
Once again, Spurs missed opportunities inside the first half which could have changed the course of the game.
There were, of course, two huge chances which Spurs can only feel incredibly hard done by with the way the ball trickled across the line.
Both Heung-min Son and Johnson saw efforts either side of the half come agonisingly close to adding to their tally.
And it was apparent Postecoglou did come out of the games with some frustrations after feeling his players should have taken more of their chances.
He said: “It’s a game we probably should have made easier for ourselves. Everyone’s fighting for something and Luton weren’t just going to lie down for us. We had to earn the win and I thought we did that.”
However, Spurs have shown their strong character throughout the season to turn the result on its head.
This was also the case against Crystal Palace last month when Eberechi Eze put the visitors ahead, but Spurs saw a quickfire response in the latter stages of the game.
It may not have been the perfect display from Spurs, but it was enough to please their manager following full-time.
“You’re never going to totally open up a team. If we had have got the lead it could’ve made the game more comfortable but again, great character by the lads,” Postecoglou added.
