at Kenilworth Road

TOTTENHAM moved to the top of the Premier League table after their hard-fought victory over Luton Town in front of 10,929 spectators on Saturday lunchtime.

Kenilworth Road hosted a full-blooded affair in front of another crackling atmosphere, that saw 10-man Spurs emerge victorious through a second half strike from Micky van de Ven in the balmy Bedfordshire sunshine.

Tottenham’s £34.5m summer signing from Wolfsburg’s neat finish after the break was enough for his side to leapfrog treble winners Manchester City into top spot, ahead of the rest of the weekend’s fixtures.
