Luton v Tottenham ratings: Adebayo 4, Nakamba 6; Bissouma 2, Van de Ven 8

Ten-man Spurs eke out 1-0 win to go top of the Premier League

Thomas Kaminski 6/10

Luton ratings. A quick look at the stats and you'd think he had a stormer, but most of Spurs' efforts on goal were high, wide and not so handsome. Getty

Reece Burke 5/10

All over the place early doors but settled down and had a solid if unspectacular outing. Reuters

Tom Lockyer 6/10

Always a threat in the opposition box but had one rightly chalked off here. All at sea for the first 20 but stuck to his task. Getty

Mads Andersen 5/10

Couldn't cope with Spurs in the first half. Withdrawn on 59 minutes. Getty

Alfie Doughty 5/10

Decent game up and down the left flank in general play but snatched at a half decent chance early in the second half and was skinned by Maddison for the goal. Reuters

Jacob Brown 5/10

Missed chance when presented with a headed opportunity from Doughty's cross. Reuters

Pelly Mpanzu 5/10

Not a great deal of quality but put himself about. Reuters

Marvelous Nakamba 6/10

The pick of Luton's midfielders. Got through a lot of work, snapping into tackles and attempting to get his team on the front foot. Might have done more to prevent Maddison creating the goal. Reuters

Chiedozie Ogbene 6/10

Lively presence on the wing for Luton. Excellent cross for Adebayo really should have produced an equaliser for his team. EPA

Elijah Adebayo 4/10

Certainly a handful but missed an absolute sitter at the start of the second half - simply had to score. EPA

Carlton Morris 6/10

Linked the play fairly well. Might have done better with headed chance that came off his shoulder. Getty

Teden Mengi 6/10

Luton subs. Mengi (Andersen, 59'). Slotted in at the back and was largely untested with the opposition down to 10.

Tahith Chong 6/10

Chong (Mpanzu, 67'): Added some zip to his side; Woodrow (Adebayo, 67') - 5: Legs turned to jelly when had a decent chance; Berry (Brown, 66') - 5: Added very little; Barkley (Lockyer, 81'): N/A.

Guglielmo Vicario 6/10

Spurs ratings: Largely untested but did look a little flappy with Luton slinging in a few set pieces in the second half. Reuters.

Pedro Porro 7/10

Had a ropey first half here with some shaky defensive moments and missed a decent chance to open the scoring. But had a much-improved second half and went close with the outside of his right boot. ReuShow more

Cristian Romero 8/10

Commanding at the back and, as usual, very tidy passing the ball into the feet of his midfielders. Getty

Micky van de Ven 8/10

Defended well and those rangy bursts up the pitch really add something to this Spurs team. Great moment for him as he scored his first for the club. Reuters

Destiny Udogie 6/10

Reined in his attacking instincts with his side down to 10. Solid job. PA

Pape Matar Sarr 7/10

Got through a lot of work, especially after being left in the lurch by his midfield partner Bissouma. Reuters

Yves Bissouma 2/10

No sympathy for a player booked for a blatant tactical foul and then again for a dive. Getty

Dejan Kulusevski 6/10

Might have done better with a first half chance. Worked hard after the break with his side down to 10. PA

James Maddison 8/10

Like several of his teammates was guilty of some wayward finishing in the first half but then produced a stunning assist for the opening goal. Getty

Richarlison 4/10

Hasn't found goals easy to come by in a Spurs shirt and missed a hatful of chances in the opening 20 minutes. Sacrificed at half-time as Spurs adjusted after red card. Getty

Son Heung-min 6/10

Some wayward first half efforts and not a day for him to shine with Spurs digging in after the red card. Reuters

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg 6/10

Tottenham subs. Hojbjerg (Richarlison, 45'): Helped shore things up after the break; Royal (Son, 76'): N/A; Skipp (Maddison, 76'): N/A; Davies (Udogie, 82'): N/A; Veliz (Kulusevski, 92'): N/A.

Micky van de Ven’s first goal for Tottenham Hotspur sent his unbeaten side to the top of the Premier League table on Saturday.

Spurs eked out a 1-0 win away at Luton Town despite playing for the entire second half with 10 men following Yves Bissouma's sending off for two bookable offences.

Bissouma was booked twice in quick succession just before the break by referee John Brooks – the first for an ugly tactical foul with Luton on the break, and the second for simulation after he flung himself to the floor on the edge of the hosts' box.

The crucial breakthrough came on 52 minutes as James Maddison twisted and turned in the box and crossed for Van de Ven to stab home the winner.

The result means Spurs will top the table for at least 24 hours ahead of Manchester City's trip to Arsenal on Sunday.

Manager Ange Postecoglou said: "[We showed] a lot of character and resilience. We started really well, should have been three or four up, but then you get the red card and it is a different type of game. I thought we held it together really well. They had some opportunities, we had a few of our own. In the end we get three points at a difficult place to go."
