Ange Postecoglou’s unbeaten start to life at Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League continued in the most dramatic fashion with a pair of stoppage time goals to overturn the deficit against Sheffield United.

It looked like Sheffield United were on their way to a first win of the season before Richarlison spoiled the party with a 98th minute equaliser and Dejan Kulusevski followed up with the winning goal three minutes later to send the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium into oblivion.

After picking up a point away at Brentford on the opening weekend, Spurs have gone on to win their next four consecutive league outings including wins against Manchester United, Bournemouth and Burnley.

The newly-promoted Blades were on the brink of recording their first win of the campaign after five attempts, losing their three opening games to Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Manchester City before earning a point against Everton.

Jack Robinson’s long throw travelled all the way through the box and was met by Gus Hamer at the back post, who fired home into the far corner with his left foot to send the away end flying in north London.

The visiting side must have thought their work was done, but Richarlison nodded in from Ivan Perisic’s corner to level the scores before Dejan Kulusevski completed a dramatic comeback in the dying embers with a well-taken finish inside the area.
