Heung-Min Son was full of praise for Lucas Moura and his ‘unbelievable’ run during his side’s 2-0 win against West Brom on Sunday, as he told Tottenham’s official YouTube channel.
Four minutes after the returning Harry Kane had opened the scoring in the second half, Spurs hit Sam Allardyce’s side on the break.
Moura’s bursting run from his own half and into the final third resulted in the £23 million attacker (BBC Sport) remaining composed and laying the ball on a plate for Son to score.
After the game, Son was sure to praise Moura for the part he played in the goal and shared that he would run ‘200 meters’ to score a goal.
“This is what I am doing,” said Son. “If you had to make [that run] for 70 or 80 meters, this is what I do. This is what I love.
“Football is one of the most important parts of my life. Football gives me happiness. Football gives me love, so if you have to score I would even make a 200-meter sprint.
“I scored a goal but before what happened. Lucas makes the counter-attack from an unbelievable run. He passed (it) perfectly to me.”
It just goes to show the difference one player can make because Spurs looked a completely different outfit with Kane in the side.
Not only did the Englishman get on the scoresheet, but he brought the best out of those around him.
Trophies and European football is the aim for those in North London, with a crucial fifth-round tie against Everton awaiting them on Wednesday.
