Tottenham Hotspur ran out 5-0 winners over Swansea City yesterday.

Mauricio Pochettino has told Tottenham Hotspur’s official website that he is delighted to see his side’s attacking players hitting the back of the net again.

Pochettino has criticised Tottenham’s attacking midfielders for not being prolific enough this season.

However, both Heung-Min Son and Christian Eriksen got on the scoresheet during Spurs’ 5-0 win over Swansea City yesterday.

And Pochettino said: “Sonny’s goal was fantastic and our offensive players have started to score again, that feels very good.”

Tottenham had taken the lead against Swansea, when Harry Kane blasted in from the spot.

After that goal went in, Spurs never looked back and they went on to record their biggest league victory of the season.

Son scored with a wonderfully acrobatic volley, before Kane netted his second of the match and Christian Eriksen bagged a brace.

The victory has lifted spirits at White Hart Lane, after the North London side have struggled in recent weeks.

Spurs are currently in fifth place in the Premier League table – three points behind the Champions League qualification spots.
