Tottenham were cutting through Luton at will earlier in this half. Luton have really shut the door. The visitors are finding it much harder to find space.

Carlton Morris goes into the book.

It is for catching Richarlison with an arm in an aerial challenge, but he's unlucky. His arm is not high and his eyes are entirely on the ball.

Hit it James Maddison does. He sends it curling over the wall but also over the bar.

James Maddison holds off a challenge as he drives towards the box but eventually the ref deems Marvelous Nakamba's attempts to stop him as a foul.

This is a free-kick that Maddison can hit.

Oh, so close!

Pape Sarr wins the ball in midfield and drives forward before finding Dejan Kulusevski to his right. The winger's angled shot is tipped just past the far post.

The resulting corner sets up a chance for Richarlison but he puts it wide.

This wasn't a contest for 15 minutes as Spurs totally dominated.

It's a contest now, though. Luton are in it.

Carlton Morris is the target and rises to meet Alfie Doughty's corner but he doesn't connect properly and sends his header wide.

Luton are a much bigger threat now.

They win their first corner.

It is more down to poor Spurs finishing than their own work, but Luton look to be drawing a bit of belief from the fact this is still goalless.

Luton having a little dart at Spurs now.

Jacob Brown's cross is deflected wide by a Spurs boot but the ref points for a goal kick.

A rare Luton chance.

It produces their first shot as Marvelous Nakamba sees the ball break to him outside the box for a shot he slices way, way wide.

James Maddison whips in the free-kick but a Luton head is there first to loop the ball up before it is cleared.

Luton are dazed. They're just not able to cope with Tottenham's speed and movement.

James Maddison closes down Tom Lockyer after a short goal kick, nicks the ball and is clattered by the Luton skipper. That's the first yellow of the game.

It's also a free-kick right on the edge of the box.

Son Heung-min's turn. He snatches at a shot after Luton fail to clear and Thomas Kaminski saves.

Prior to that chance, Luton had completed nine passes in total.

Luton are second best to every challenge. Even when it looks like they've won it, a Spurs boot pops out to nick it back.

Micky van de Ven is the latest man to have a go for the visitors but fires his 25-yard shot over.

Yves Bissouma tries for something cute, with a chipped ball into the box from a central position. Richarlison tries to bring it down for a shot but the ball sneaks away from him.

Luton fans are reduced to cheering a Tottenham pass going out of play. They've had nothing else to get behind so far.

Ange Postecoglou has offered more than one head shake already. He knows his side should be ahead.

Son Heung-min is found in the box but he curls an effort wide. It's already getting a bit ridiculous.
