Report and clips of Spurs’ stunning stoppage-time victory over Sheffield United; Gustavo Hamer gave the Blades the lead in the second half; Richarlison headed in the equalizer in the eighth minute of stoppage time; and Dejan Kulusevski scored the game-winning goal two minutes later to ignite wild celebrations.
However, Richarlison, a replacement, headed in an equalizer in the eighth minute of stoppage time with 12 seconds remaining, and Dejan Kulusevski scored the game’s winning goal two minutes later to cap off an incredible turnaround.
Spurs are off to their greatest start in a league campaign in 58 years thanks to Kulusevski’s goal, and they are still unblemished in the Premier League. The goal caused wild celebrations at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
However, Sheffield United’s late heartbreak, which saw Oli McBurnie dismissed for receiving a second yellow card just before the end of the game, keeps Paul Heckingbottom’s team winless this year.
When two late goals completed a thrilling victory over Sheffield United in North London, Tottenham supporters sang their rendition of Robbie Williams’ “Angels” to coach Ange Postecoglou.
How Spurs orchestrated the most recent comeback in the Premier League
After the international break, Spurs supporters had to wait a lengthy two weeks to see their team play again, and the home crowd was anticipating an easy victory over the newly promoted Blades.
But this season, ‘Angeball’ has yet to face a team built to frustrate, and that’s exactly what Sheffield United did in the first 45 minutes.
Wes Foderingham, the goalkeeper for the Blades, made seven saves in the first half. His first three stops came in a span of 12 minutes as he turned away shots from Pape Sarr in the ninth minute, Yves Bissouma in the next, and Heung-Min Son in the next.
Ivan Perisic were all brought on.
After balls were thrown into the field, play was twice stopped by referee Peter Bankes before James Maddison and Manor Solomon received warnings, as Richarlison had previously disclosed.
The Blades unexpectedly took the lead in the 73rd minute when midfielder Hamer blasted home following Jack Robinson’s long throw. The midfielder’s arrowed low drive went in off the base of the far post.
After falling behind, Postecoglou made three substitutions in the 80th minute, bringing in debutant Brennan Johnson, Richarlison, andring the break his wish to seek “psychological help” after having a difficult period both on and off the field.
But the Brazilian ended a difficult week by scoring a 98th-minute headed equaliser from Perisic’s corner to kickstart a dramatic comeback, with just his second league goal since joining from Everton for £60m.
Two minutes later, Richarlison switched roles and helped Kulusevski score past Foderingham, sending the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into a frenzy of joy as they continued Postecoglou’s fantastic start.
