League match In the corresponding fixture earlier this season played in October at Kenilworth Rd it was a one goal result in Tottenham's favor allowing the Londoners to enjoy being briefly top of the table. Quality goal, professional performance, but the outcome marred somewhat by an an embarrassing Yves Bissouma dive, leading to a red card.
Newly promoted Luton were under seige from the start, but when Spurs went a man down it seemed the Hatters might have done enough to thwart Tottenham.
It didn't turn out that way when the ball was, thanks to a few seconds of brilliance almost too fast for the opposition to react, firmly in the back of the aspiring hosts' goal not long after the break. Kulu's quick corner, Maddison's magical pull-back from the touchline, and Van de Ven's lightning quick stab to the net (53), and the deed was done, the deadlock broken.
That said, Luton had their golden moment shortly before the THFC goal and how Elijah Adebayo missed a point blank opportunity in the 47th min.
MEN OF THE MATCH: The three players who combined in the play that broke the nil-nil deadlock: Kulu, Maddison, van de Ven.
Prem action 2023/24 THFC were not at the races. Yes we thrashed fatigued Euro playing Villa at their place (Villa going on to draw 1:1 at West Ham plus we have a game in hand) but then Spurs barely show up at lower rated Fulham, who, to be fair, were lively throughout and playing confident football with an in-form striker.
They had taken the time and made the effort to study the Spurs method and the players to look for effective ways to set up. Whereas Villa failed to find an antidote to Angeball, savvy FFC Portuguese manager Marco Silva did his homework and his players executed.
Other sites go into more specifics so here are some of them with more links in the left column to supporter based sites with their reactions.

"An embarrassing performance" said WATTV.
2nd Half: turned into a capitulation and a death-knell third goal. The second half revival of THFC that we've seen before this season never materialized.
Fulham score early after the interval. This would take some comeback.
Half time: Fulham score late first half. Spurs had one shot on target 1st half. Will the pattern continue - Ange half time talk - Spurs bounce back 2nd half? Or will that pattern be broken.
Reverse fixture: Spurs started strong, Fulham found their footing, but ultimately it was the blend of Angeball and the world class talent of one of the players, in this case a South Korean international forward of some repute, that was the difference between the two capital sides.
Spur of the Moment for that game: Son Heung-min scores, assists, captains, playes intelligently and with boundless energy and enthusiasm. Among other talents. Reactions: LWOS reaction.
Spurstalkshow. "As delighted and happy as I am, I have to say I'm worried about Mickey[vdV] and his apparent hamstring injury." -- jeffstevens, viewer.
WATTV reaction: mature display, showing the growth of where we're at.
TheSpur reaction: It's astonishing how Spurs have recently been turning things around after the half time break, and this was another dramatic example.
Villa relied too heavily on the long ball, especially to Ollie Watkins, one of THFC's nightmare opponents, but the home side paid a price for that, it didn't work this time.
Spurs rose head and shoulders above the hosts in every department during the second half and in the end the vistors boasted a match total of around 67% of possession.
More reactions coming soon as Tottenham, with a game in hand, get within two points of 4th place Villa.
Second half: Son cutting back to Timo Werner and it's #4 for Spurs. Fans chant his name and he's bang on form - THFC have now overtaken their hosts in goal difference. Dramatic turnaround in fortunes just as Villa were poised to cement a top four finish. Kulu is involved in so much, this time a quick passing exchange with Porro leads to him setting up Heung-min Son for a clinical third Tottenham goal, a goal and two assists for the South Korean international. #3 as Spurs, after a poor first half, are dominating this 2nd half.
Visiting fans: "Are you West Ham in disguise?" as Hammers, wearing the same kit colours and design, were at home trailing relegation bound Burnley (ending in a 2:2 draw).
Villa captain John McGinn assaults Udogie and sent off.
Goal #2. Kulu steals the ball to feed Son who outsteps the delivery for Brennan Johnson who gives the Villa keeper no chance. Three and a half minutes after the first, Spurs now two up and only two points below Villa and a match in hand in the race for fourth place and a champs league spot.
Goal #1: Kulu breaking from the back and finds Pape Matar Sarr on the right, his silver platter cross to Maddison allows our in-form striker to stab the ball into the net. First effort on target and Lilywhites lead.
First half: Aston Villa seemed fatigued from Ajax, playing five at the back. Spurs unable to create meaningful possibilities, with Villa creating three or four credible first half scoring chances. |
