Massive chance missed!

Luton get in down the right as Destiny Udogie is beaten by Chiedozie Ogbene. The ball is fired across to the far post where all Elijah Adebayo has to do is slide in and tap home, but he goes with his wrong foot and fluffs it wide.

M: Feels like we often see simulation go unpunished, so fair play to the ref for getting his yellow card out there.

Robert: Yves Bissouma's red card for two yellow cards and the second for simulation is karma.

Anon: Spurs fan here but I just want to say that is excellent refereeing. Clear dive but often referees are nervous to give the second yellow for it. Fully deserved. So dumb. He’s put us right up against it in a game where we should already be out of sight.

This is a totally different game now.

Luton were the side playing on the break in the first half. Now, the Hatters will be looking to press home their advantage, with Spurs largely looking to hit on the counter.

Might suit the visitors actually!

We are back under way, with Tottenham a man down. Can they pull another result out of the bag to go top of the league or will Luton take advantage of this huge opportunity?

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is on for Spurs to strengthen midfield following Yves Bissouma's red card. Richarlison is the man to come off.

He missed two massive chances in the first five minutes.

There must be something in the air today.

We've had a man sent off late in the first half of both the early Premier League and early Championship game.

Sunderland's Dan Neil has been shown red in the game between the Black Cats and Middlesbrough, which is also 0-0 at the break.

The 1958 Manchester United fans group are leading another protest outside Old Trafford before today's game.

They have been triggered into action by the continued ownership saga, which seems to have become stuck and has led to one of the bidders, Sir Jim Ratcliffe, offering to buy a minority stake, which would keep the Glazer family at the club.

In addition, they have called on the supporter representatives to withdraw from the clubs’ Fans Forum and Fan Advisory Board.

They say the two bodies are a ‘tool for manipulation and deception’.

“The Glazers have used the illusion of meaningful dialogue as a tool for manipulation and deception,” said the group.

“They failed to honour the demands made, instead giving false assurances, enabling them to continue with their existing agenda of destroying our Club for their own profit.

“By maintaining a dialogue with the Glazers, we have validated their actions and legitimatised their ownership of our Club and demonstrated to them that our fanbase is divided, indecisive and impotent.”

Referee John Brooks loves a red card this season. That's the third he's handed out in five Premier League games this season - more than any other referee.

Yves Bissouma gave him no choice.

Well that changes everything for the second half!

Spurs dominated the first 15 minutes and should probably be 3-0 up. Luton came back into it and had a goal disallowed by VAR.

Yves Bissouma's moment of madness has given the Hatters a real shot at these points.

Yves Bissouma, what have you done?!

He's already on a yellow. Why would you risk a dive?! He throws himself to the ground on the edge of the Luton box, the ref spots it and shows him a second yellow and then a red.

It's so, so, so daft.

James Maddison with the final chance of the half.

He is set up by Son Hueng-min on the edge of the box but curls his effort wide.

We've got three added minutes.

Well that was a mad minute or so.

Tom Lockyer and Carlton Morris both required some treatment after the goal was ruled out for knocks.

They're both OK, though, although Morris' nose is still bleeding as he returns.

Luton 0-0 Tottenham

Oh, hang on. More VAR!

There is a check for handball against Chiedozie Ogbene in the Luton box.

It's a quick one, though. The ball did hit his arm, but he could do little to avoid it. No penalty.

Yep. The goal is ruled out. A foul is the decision.

Luton 1-0 Tottenham

The ball is swung in and headed back into the mixer. Elijah Adebayo loops a header against the far post before Tom Lockyer nods in from a yard.

There looks to be a foul on Cristian Romero in the mix, though. Adebayo the culprit.

Yves Bissouma takes one for the team, dragging down Chiedozie Ogbene after Pedro Porro is robbed in midfield. The yellow card means Bissouma is suspended for the next game.
