Spurs came from behind to win 2-1 thanks to goals from Brennan Johnson and Heung-min Son.

The manager said: "I thought the performance was good. I think we made the game pretty difficult for ourselves. We certainly had enough chances and we controlled the game pretty much from start to finish, but obviously when the scoreline is as it is, disappointing goal we conceded. That was the highly disappointing point of the day. I just thought it was preventable,, but aside from that I thought the lads handled it really well in the second half.

"There was a bit of anxiety around the place, every game now for every club there will be because there's extra significance, but I thought the lads stayed really calm during that process. Kept playing our football and probing and eventually got their rewards.

"The disappointing thing about the first half is the goal we conceded. Our football was good. We created good chances, one-vs-ones, we hit the post, they blocked quite a few shots and they defended desperately. I think overall there was nothing wrong with our football. The goal we conceded, yeah that was poor and that's something we need to address.

"With a lot of our football it becomes a war of attrition. We need to put pressure on the opposition because we know we're going to run our games really strongly and I thought we made Luton work really hard in the first half and I thought you saw in the last 10 to 15 minutes that they paid the price for that."
