Tottenham defenders Micky van de Ven and Destiny Udogie hailed “leader” Cristian Romero after they combined to extend Ange Postecoglou’s unbeaten start at the club with a 1-0 win at Luton. Spurs created a plethora of chances early on at Kenilworth Road, but Yves Bissouma received two yellow cards in quick succession in the first half to alter the course of Saturday’s game. While Van de Ven put Tottenham ahead in the 52nd-minute, Luton made the most of their numerical advantage to pile the pressure on, but vice-captain Romero in particular shone with 12 clearances and five aerial duals won during a colossal display over the 90 minutes. “Amazing player, unbelievable player,” centre-back Van de Ven said of Romero to SpursPlay. “Defensively so strong, with the ball so strong, keeps talking, for me an amazing player. “We had to concentrate for the full 90 minutes. We had to keep pushing, keep commanding and holding a strong line. We help each other and have each others back. “Everyone keeps talking the whole time and most of the time no one is losing concentration, but everyone is keeping each other awake and you saw we defended really well to keep the clean sheet.” Left-back Udogie echoed those sentiments, saying: “I think Cuti (Romero) is a real leader. “You can’t feel more safe (than) with Cuti and he shows this every day in training, in the game and he helps us a lot. “As you saw it was really tough and with a man less it was more tough but this is the spirit of our squad. We keep working hard for each other and the result come.” On his maiden Italy call-up, Udogie added: “It is a big dream for me you know. As a young kid I was always dreaming for this moment. “Now it has come and I have to just stay focused, enjoy the time, work hard for the team and give my best.” Spurs have won six of their eight Premier League matches under Postecoglou, which makes this the club’s best start to a top-flight season since the 1960-61 double-winning campaign. The goals have flowed, but the Australian has added a steel to a previously frail defensive unit and this shut-out was Tottenham’s third with new first-choice goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario. Postecoglou said: “They’ve been great all year, both the centre-backs, the whole back four and Vic. “I think a big part of that is Romero because when you look at it, it’s Destiny’s first year in the Premier League, Micky’s first year, Vic’s first year and (Pedro) Porro is just beginning his Premier League career, but they’ve got a World Cup winner beside them. “I think Cuti makes them feel like they belong. They feel really comfortable having him beside them and you can see them flourish. I think Cuti is a real leader. You can't feel more safe (than) with Cuti and he shows this every day in training, in the game and he helps us a lot. Destiny Udogie on Cristian Romero “He is someone you definitely want in your team. Yes he does have that physicality about him, but he’s a good player as well. “His passing range, ability to really position himself well, to stay calm and then just ridiculous bravery to always put his body in there. He’s just an outstanding defender.” Lionel Messi recently labelled Argentina team-mate Romero as the best defender in the world. “He’s a good judge,” Postecoglou smiled. Meanwhile, newly-promoted Luton were left to rue missed chances after suffering a sixth defeat, but could soon call upon the services of free agent Andros Townsend after he played for their under-21s on Friday. “We will see,” Hatters boss Rob Edwards said. “It has to be right for him. We will have a look and see how it goes. “He played on Friday night the full game.”

Erling Haaland struck twice as holders Manchester City moved a step closer to the Champions League knockout stages with a hard-fought 3-1 win at Young Boys. Haaland put City back into the lead on the artificial surface at Bern’s Wankdorf Stadium after Switzerland international Manuel Akanji’s opener had been brilliantly cancelled out by Meschack Elia. Substitute Julian Alvarez had an effort ruled out by VAR but Haaland made victory certain with a smart finish four minutes from time. The win was City’s third in succession in Group G and they could now secure their spot in their last 16 for an 11th successive year with a follow-up victory over the Swiss side at home in a fortnight. There had been much talk over the synthetic pitch in the build-up to the game and heavy rain added another variable element but it proved a free-flowing encounter. Young Boys started well with Filip Ugrinic forcing a save from Ederson before Rodri headed wide from a corner. Jack Grealish, who ignored the persistent booing of the vociferous home crowd, teed up Jeremy Doku with a superb first-time ball but the Belgian slipped as he cut inside and Anthony Racioppi saved. The impressive Swiss keeper denied Haaland soon after but did have a moment of alarm when he spilled a Grealish shot. Matheus Nunes could only poke the loose ball weakly towards goal, however, and Loris Benito cleared off the line. Doku went close again after switching from the right to left wing but Racioppi brilliantly saved his curling effort and blocked a first-time Rodri shot. Young Boys had a good spell before the break with first Cedric Itten breaking clear but failing to beat Ederson. Itten then teed up Sandro Lauper with a neat flick but Nathan Ake got back to block before a powerful Lewin Blum effort was turned behind. Itten went close again from the set-piece as his header dropped narrowly over. While that made for a lively end to the first half, the game truly burst into life early in the second. Akanji and Nunes both had chances before City grabbed the lead in the 48th minute. Rodri delivered a cross into the box and Ruben Dias, still forward following a corner, had a header tipped onto the bar by Racioppi. Akanji reacted the quickest to turn the ball in. City went in immediate search of a second but were caught out after a Haaland shot was saved by Racioppi. The ball was quickly sent to the other end and played into the path of Elia, who caught Ederson stranded off his line with a superb lob. Young Boys were firmly back in the game and Itten forced Ederson into an awkward save with a swerving shot. City stepped up the intensity and were awarded a penalty when Mohamed Ali Camara, moments after being booked, caught Rodri from behind. Haaland stepped up to thump home his 10th of the season. City thought they had claimed another through Alvarez but his low strike was ruled out for a Grealish handball in the build-up. It fell to Haaland to complete the job, the striker wrong-footing the defence just inside the box and then lifting into the top corner.
