Ten-man Tottenham Hotspur maintained their unbeaten record as a narrow win at Luton took them top of the Premier League.

After going down to 10 men when Yves Bissouma was sent off just before half-time, Spurs' winner came from Micky van de Ven, who poked home his first goal for the club on 52 minutes after James Maddison cut the ball back from a short corner.

Dutch defender Van de Ven said it was an "amazing feeling" to score the match-winning goal.

"On the way to the stadium on the bus Sonny [Son Heung-min] told me: 'You're going to score your first goal today'," he said on TNT Sports.

"I didn't think so. I said: 'Maybe, who knows.' But it is perfect because now I have scored my first goal.

"I think we showed a great mentality as a team."

Luton had captain Tom Lockyer's low header chalked off when Elijah Adebayo was deemed to have fouled Cristian Romero as he headed Mads Andersen's free-kick across goal.

A more positive approach in the second half led to them creating plenty of opportunities but Tottenham held on to leave Rob Edwards' side without a win at home this season.

Ange Postecoglou's Spurs are now unbeaten in eight Premier League games and sit two points ahead of Manchester City, who face Arsenal on Sunday.
