Spurs 2-1 Sheffield United

The report in full...

In what was a feisty game with 12 yellow cards, one sending off and plenty of stoppages throughout, our dominant display looked like we were going to end empty-handed after Gustavo Hamer struck against the run of play in the 74^th minute, only for Richarlison to level it up in the 98^th minute and Kulusevski to fire home a winner which sparked the most incredible celebrations.

It preserved our unbeaten start to the league season and kept us in second place in the table, even if that seemed an unlikely scenario late in the game! It's also our best start to a league season since 1965/66.

Both sides had sights of goal in the early moments, Pape Matar Sarr forcing Wes Foderingham into a low save at one end before Oliver McBurnie’s effort looked like it might trouble Guglielmo Vicario but it hit his own team-mate Cameron Archer on its way and we cleared the danger.

We were dominating the game in terms of possession and went close again on 19 minutes, Yves Bissouma drifting past two defenders in the area but Foderingham smothered his shot from close range and then had to push away a Heung-Min Son curler for a corner.

Soon after, Vicario made a fine stop from James McAtee although Archer was probably offside in the build-up, while Foderingham then kept out 20-yard efforts from Manor Solomon and James Maddison. Five minutes before the break, Maddison fired a couple of yards wide after lovely link-up play between Sarr and Solomon and the half ended with a chance for the visitors, McBurnie heading Jayden Bogle’s corner straight at Vicario.

The pressure and the atmosphere definitely cranked up a notch after the break as we pushed for the opener, with Son and Kulusevski having shots blocked and Solomon curling just wide in the 62^nd minute. Penalty appeals were then waved away after Son went down in between Anel Ahmedhodzic and Chris Basham, while Solomon fizzed an effort over the bar as we kept up the momentum.

The threat of the counter was always there though and Vicario was grateful to see McAtee’s shot fall into his arms after it deflected off Porro. But, in the 74^th minute, the Blades won a throw-in which went all the way through to Hamer and he hit a low left-foot shot which crept in off the far post.

That prompted a triple substitution with Richarlison, Perisic and Brennan Johnson coming on, the latter for his Spurs debut and the former Nottingham Forest man had the ball in the net on 87 minutes only to be denied by the assistant’s flag.

Richarlison then headed over and Foderingham denied Kulusevski at his near post as the clock ticked over into 12 minutes of stoppage time but finally we got the goal we deserved. In the end, it was just a plain old corner that did the trick, Perisic curling in for Richarlison to glance a header past Foderingham.

That lit a renewed spark under the whole stadium and suddenly it was game on. Time, incredibly, was still on our side and we took full advantage with yet another attack as Richarlison laid off to Kulusevski and he struck a right-foot shot home in the 100^th minute to send the place crazy!

The final moments saw McBurnie sent off for a second yellow card before the final whistle sounded on the most dramatic of victories in N17.
