Spurs headed the league table and ran out big winners at Kenilworth Road in this Division Two encounter. The game had been postponed from the previous Saturday and Spurs were obviously keen to get going as two Glenn Hoddle goals put them ahead. The midfielder's first was a close range shot at the far post and his second, a trademark curling free-kick around the Luton defensive wall. A Don McAllister header was unstoppable for the third goal and striker John Duncan netted a rasping volley to complete the Spurs scoring before Luton grabbed a late consolation goal. Teams : |

Tottenham met FA Cup semi-finalists Luton Town at
White Hart Lane with both clubs in lowly First Division positions. When
Bobby Smith smashed home a left footed shot in the 11th minute, it
looked as though Spurs would go on to win the match comfortably. A
goal-line clearance in the last minute of the first half by Ken Hawkes
dropped kindly to Johnny Brooks, who hit the ball back past the keeper
to make it 2-0. Teams : |
15.11.1958 | Spurs took the points on

23.11.1957 | Tottenham
raced into a 3-0 lead inside 21 minutes through goals from Johnny Brooks
and two from Terry Medwin, the first two coming in eight minutes of the
kick off. Brooks pounced on a rebound from the goalkeeper Ron
Baynham to open the scoring after three minutes and then Brooks and
Blanchflower linked to provide Terry Medwin with the opportunity to hit
a low shot past the goalie.
The third goal came about when a raking pass from George Robb put in Medwin to beat the keeper at his near post. Smith had been giving the Luton centre-half Sid Owen a torrid time. Spurs continued to pressure the Luton goal and both scorers and Robb all went close to adding to the tally. George Cummins pulled one back for the Hatters, knocking the ball past Ditchburn from close in with four minutes left, but it was never enough to get them back into the match.

Gordon Turner's goal for Luton was not enough to stop Duquemin, Robb and Stokes' goals winning the match for Tottenham. Tottenham had Blanchflower and Smith missing due to injuries, but Walley and Duquemin stepped into their places. Although there was a heavy playing surface, the game was played out at a fast pace, with Luton having the early chances, as Davies struck the bar and Pearce put the rebound wide of the goal. However a tenth minute goal by George Robb from close range handed Tottenham the lead, and ten minutes before half-time, Spurs went 2-0 up when Alfie Stokes put the ball into the net in a goalmouth scramble. There was another Spurs goal before half-time, when Len Duquemin beat a defender a minute last to score Tottenham's third and when Baker fell in the penalty area and put his hand on the ball, Turner took advantage of the spot-kick to narrow the score-line to 3-1. Both goalkeepers were kept busy in the second half, but there were no further goals. Teams : |
