It was a poor start from Spurs, with the hosts looking comfortable in the first half as Postecoglou’s side struggled to create clear-cut chances against the worst defense in the league. The hosts should have taken the lead in the 41st minute when Cristian Romero was dispossessed in his own half, but a poor shot from Cameron Archer saw the striker miss the target when one-on-one with Guglielmo Vicario.

When Spurs came out in the second half they looked a much better team with the Lilywhites sharp in attack as they began to dominate the hosts. Dejan Kulusevski and Pedro Porro both had good chances to score as they created problems down the right, but the best chance of the afternoon fell to Son Heung-min.

A fantastic run into the box from Son was picked out by Kulusevski, the striker’s first touch sending him past the mark and one-on-one with Wes Foderingham. The striker did everything right until the end, with the Spurs captain firing his effort into the legs of the keeper.

Spurs kept the pressure on Sheffield United as they looked to pick up a late winner, but the hosts defended well to keep a clean sheet in a deadlock on the final day.
