[Sports Seoul | Reporter Kim Yong-il] Tottenham's momentum is remarkable as it overcame numerical inferiority to complete the opening eight games (6 wins and 2 draws). Manager Angé Postecoglou, who perfectly expresses the characteristics of the player, is dominating the English Premier League (EPL) early in this season.

Tottenham won 1-0 in the eighth round of the EPL in the 2023-2024 season against promoted team Luton Town on the 7th (Korea time).

Tottenham, which pressured Luton with more than 80% of the ball possession in the first half, missed several scoring opportunities with Hishalisson and Pedro Porro. In addition, Eve Bissouma was in a corner as she left the game with accumulated warnings in the first half.

However, Postecoglou maintained his attacking stance without flexing his defense in the second half even when 10 players had to fight. He scored the first goal at a corner kick opportunity in the seventh minute of the second half. His promised moves paid off. Kicker Dejan Klusevskiy quickly connected the ball to James Maddison, who moved to the right side of the penalty arc. Klusevskiy then moved to the center and disturbed the opponent's defense gaze, and Madison penetrated the right side of the net with a flash of penetration. Mickey van de Pen, who received his pass, ended the game with his foot in front of the goal. It was like a picture.
