The South Korean has put in two good performances in a row in the Premier League for Tottenham Hotspur.

Tottenham Hotspur have beaten Sunderland 1-0 in the Premier League this afternoon, with Harry Kane scoring the winning goal in the second-half.
The fact that Spurs only won this game 1-0 was nothing short of a miracle, as they dominated Sunderland throughout.
One player who had an excellent game was Heung-min Son. The South Korean was fantastic, especially in the first-half, as he continues his resurgence at Spurs.
He was excellent v Stoke City in the Premier League last weekend, but then found himself hauled off at half-time in the Champions League tie against Monaco.

Speaking to the Tottenham website after the game Son admitted his disappointment after that game, but that he was happy with his performance today:
“I worked hard. I was disappointed against Monaco but today our performance was good and we deserved the win.
“We were calm. We know we had chances but we knew we’d create more. I was really happy for the fans.”
Last night reports were emerging that Son was ready to leave Spurs in January and head back to Bundesliga – having been left annoyed by the substitution v Monaco.
His performance today suggests that is not the case and his comments after the game seem to confirm so.
Tottenham fans will hope that Son can deliver this sort of performance on a regular basis going forward.
