Spurs Secure Last-Minute Win with Double Stoppage-Time Goals: Player Ratings

FROM TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM - Tottenham scored goals in the 98th and 101st minute to come from behind and beat Sheffield United on Saturday.

Ange Postecoglou's men were frustrated throughout by dogged defending and endless time-wasting but they were eventually rewarded for their endeavours with a grandstand finish.

The Blades were stubborn throughout but finally wilted under the pressure and head back north without even a point to show for their efforts.

After a quiet opening period, Tottenham carved out the first chance of the afternoon midway through the first half, with Yves Bissouma tip-toeing his way past three Sheffield United defenders and into the penalty area, only for Wes Foderingham to smother his close-range effort.

Foderingham was called into action again soon after to push away a curling strike from Son Heung-min as Spurs started clicking into hear.

Sheffield United then had an opening to take the lead. Anel Ahmedhodzic's long ball over the top was hooked back across by Jayden Bogle and stuck goal-wards by James McAtee, with Guglielmo Vicario producing a fine save to deny him.

Next to go close was Manor Solomon, who wriggled away from the imposing presence of Ahmedhodzic and fired a shot through a crowd of bodies towards the near post, but Foderingham shifted back over his line well to get a glove on the ball.

Tottenham should have been awarded a penalty when James Maddison was clipped by Chris Basham just inside the box, but referee Peter Bankes and the VAR decided against awarding a spot kick.

Sheffield United managed to slow the game down after the break and frustrate their hosts, with Spurs having to wait until the 67th minute to get another clear sight of goal - Foderingham tipped over a fierce strike from Solomon on this occasion.

The visitors took the lead against the run of play when a long throw-in was allowed to bounce all the way to Gustavo Hamer, who smashed in at the back post.

Tottenham eventually had the ball in the net through debutant Brennan Johnson, but he was flagged for offside after shifting himself half-a-yard too early to meet Bissouma's ball.

Eight minutes into stoppage time, Spurs found their equaliser. Ivan Perisic's corner found the run of Richarlison, who headed in with ease from close range.

But that was not the end of it for the hosts, who won the game in the 101st minute. Richarlison again found a pocket of space and had time to swivel and set through Dejan Kulusevski, who found the top corner with his weaker right foot to send Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into bedlam.

Oliver McBurnie was sent off for a second bookable offence while Sheffield United tried to create another opening as Spurs held on to secure a memorable victory.
