Tottenham Hotspur are still unbeaten in the Premier League after eight matches and provisionally top the standings following a hard-fought 1-0 win over newcomers Luton Town at\u00a0Kenilworth Road in the early kickoff on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ange Postecoglou’s men played the entirety of the second half with ten players\u00a0due to Yves Bissouma being sent off for simulation.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Micky van de Ven fired a left-footed effort past Hatters goalkeeper\u00a0Thomas Kaminski\u00a0for what proved to be the game-winning goal six minutes into the second half.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Destiny Udogie, fresh from receiving his first ever call-up to Italy’s senior national team, started his eighth consecutive game in the Premier League and was in action for 82 minutes before making way for Ben Davies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Born\u00a0in Verona to Nigerian parents, Udogie wasn’t a surprise inclusion in Italy’s squad announced on Friday as manager\u00a0Luciano Spalletti\u00a0and his predecessor Roberto Mancini had been keeping tabs on the defender with a view to handing him his first call-up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although he is eligible to represent the Super Eagles, Udogie and his camp publicly stated that the player’s international future lies with Italy, rather than the three-time African champions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
The fullback is delighted to earn his first call-up to Italy’s senior national team and is hoping to return to Tottenham Hotspur in good physical condition.\u00a0<\/p>\n
