The South Korean has scored five goals in as many games this season.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min scores their first goal
Former Arsenal full-back Lee Dixon has been commenting on the form of Tottenham Hotspur’s current man of the moment Heung-min Son on ITV.
Spurs defeated CSKA Moscow in Russia 1-0 to pick up their first win of the Champions League campaign this weekend.
The goalscorer in the Russian capital was the South Korean attacker. He has been in fantastic form this season after a difficult first campaign at White Hart Lane.
His finish against CSKA took his tally to five in five for the season as he continues his revival.

Speaking about the form of the South Korean, former Arsenal defender Dixon had this to say about his upturn in form:
“Maybe that’s what he needed, a run in the team. Sometimes as a player you complain about not being in the team, sometimes that’s because you’re not good enough.
“When you get in (the team) you have to make an impact. By scoring goals (you do that).
“He is playing well and he’s scoring as well so it’s a big plus for Tottenham. With Harry Kane not firing et cetera, they’ll take goals from anywhere right now.”
Son nearly left Tottenham in the summer. He was heavily linked with a move back to the Bundesliga with VfL Wolfsburg interested in the 24-year-old.

But in the end Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino decided he wanted Son to stick around in North London and he has been in great form for the club.
Spurs fans will no doubt be hoping that Son can continue this good form, especially whilst Harry Kane is out of action with an ankle injury.
