Tottenham climbed to the top of the Premier League table as they recovered from Yves Bissouma's dismissal to earn a 1-0 win against Luton Town on Saturday.
Spurs banked all three points despite playing the whole of the second half with 10 men. Dutch defender Micky van de Ven scored the only goal of the game in the 52nd minute when he poked home a first-time shot after a cut back from James Maddison following a Spurs short corner move.
Bissouma was sent off just before half-time for his needless second booking at Kenilworth Road. He had already been carded for a tactical foul before being given a second yellow for diving.
But Van de Ven's first goal for the club clinched unbeaten Tottenham's sixth win in eight league games. Ange Postecoglou's side sit two points clear of second-placed Manchester City, who travel to title rivals Arsenal on Sunday.
