The Sky Sports pundit praised the Tottenham Hotspur man’s technique.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Matt Le Tissier has praised the brilliant Son Heung-min for his goal in Tottenham Hotspur’s 5-0 rout of Swansea City on Saturday.

Tottenham picked up just a second win in 11 matches by crushing the South-Welsh side at White Hart Lane.

Son made it 2-0 on the stroke of half time with a wonderful acrobatic effort to beat Lukas Fabianski at his near post – his first goal in 10 games – and the Sky Sports praised the South Korean’s exquisite finish.

“The moment of the match was Tottenham’s second goal; fantastic bit of skill from Son. The ball bounced up and he hit a scissor volley with his right foot. Brilliant technique.”

Harry Kane – who opened the scoring from the penalty spot after a dubious decision – made it 3-0 to Spurs shortly after the break.

And Christian Eriksen netted twice in the final 20 minutes to cap a fine victory for Mauricio Pochettino’s side, who go to Manchester United next week – but what a way to go into such a difficult fixture.

The Lilywhites remain fifth in the Premier League but only a point now separates them from fourth spot, after Manchester City lost 3-1 to Chelsea yesterday.
