Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are playing against Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the moment.

And they are doing well.

Tottenham have not been in great form in recent matches, but the North London club have started the Premier League game against Everton on fire.

An own goal from Michael Keane saw Tottenham take the lead after 14 minutes.

Then on 17 minutes, Son Heung-min made it 2-0.

England international striker Harry Kane scored the third for Tottenham on 37 minutes.

Like Kane, Son is a heralded Tottenham hero and is hugely popular among the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium faithful.

Praise for Tottenham Hotspur’s Dejan Kulusevski

While we have to praise Son for his goal and blame Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford making a mistake, we have to praise Dejan Kulusevski.

The 21-year-old winger provided the assist when he played the ball to Son.

Former Chelsea striker Chris Sutton is following the match for BBC Sport, and he has praised the Sweden international winger, who moved to Tottenham on loan from Juventus in the January transfer window.

Sutton said on BBC Sport: “Son is always looking for the movements behind, Kane does well on the right-hand side, good awareness from Kulusevski, Son makes a run, it goes under Pickford.”

Kulusevski is a very young player who can only get better in the coming months, working under a world-class manager such as Conte.
