Tottenham’s Son Heung-min scored twice against Huddersfield on Saturday.
Tottenham Hotspur defender Jan Vertonghen has told the club’s official website that he thinks winger Son Heung-min is ‘unbelievable’ after his two-goal display against Huddersfield Town.
Days after hammering Rochdale 6-1 in the FA Cup, Tottenham were back in Premier League action on Saturday afternoon as they took on Huddersfield Town at Wembley Stadium.
Tottenham grabbed a goal in each half to claim a 2-0 win over the Terriers, with Son Heung-min grabbing both goals, including a fine header from Harry Kane’s pinpoint cross for the second goal.
Whilst it’s usually Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen stealing the headlines in the final third, Son has stepped up and made himself almost indispensable this season with a host of fine displays.
The South Korean international, 25, took his tally to 15 goals in all competitions this season with his brace against Huddersfield, as well as grabbing four Premier League assists.
The 2015 signing from Bayer Leverkusen – who almost left Spurs in 2016 – has been sensational of late, and could play a key role for Tottenham against Juventus in the Champions League this week.
Now, Spurs teammate Jan Vertonghen has told the club’s official website that he thinks Son is ‘unbelievable’ having again stolen the show against Huddersfield on Saturday.
Vertonghen suggested that Spurs can always count on Son as he works hard, finds the net, notches assists and presses well, and believes he should get more credit from outside of Tottenham for his displays.
“The guy, for me, is unbelievable,” said Vertonghen. “Always when he’s there, you can count on him. He works hard, scores goals, gives assists, gives great energy and, for me, he’s someone who sometimes should get more credit from the outside because in this team, everyone appreciates him a lot,” he added.
