Tottenham’s Son Heung-min scores their first goal
Tottenham Hotspur attacker Heung-Min Son scored a vital winning goal to help his side earn a 1-0 win over CSKA Moscow.
The South Korean has scored four Premier League goals in three games and added to that tally last night.
His performance was praised by former Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp, speaking on BT Sport after the game.
Redknapp said: “You can’t leave him out when Harry [Kane] comes back if he scoring goals every week.
“It’s all about confidence, he’s flying, he’s saying ‘get me out of the team if you can’.”

Prior to the game, Redknapp had also commented on Son, saying: “He looks a good player, I’ve been very impressed with him. He’s got great technique and has scored great goals.”
Another former Spurs boss, sitting alongside Redknapp last night, was Glenn Hoddle, and he urged trepidation regarding the forward.

He said: “He scored three in three to begin last season, and fizzled out, so you just hope he can keep it going.”
Hoddle is accurate in pointing out Son’s fantastic start to his Spurs career, and the way his form bemusingly trailed off, especially in the second half of the campaign.
This led to questions over his future at the club, but the hope is that the 24-year-old has got past his difficult spell and learned lessons which will help him avoid a similar slump this season.
