Tottenham Hotspur star Pedro Porro has congratulated Son Heung-min after his superb goal in Saturday’s win over Brighton and Hove Albion.

Spurs simply had to win this game; it didn’t matter how, Tottenham just needed three points after somehow only drawing at Everton.

Son fired Spurs in front with a stunning strike before Lewis Dunk levelled it up for the Seagulls.

Harry Kane did what Harry Kane does, firing home what proved to be a winner in a 2-1 Spurs victory.

Brighton may have been the better side for large parts and may have even been robbed by some bizarre refereeing decisions, but Tottenham will not care.

Spurs remain three points behind Manchester United in the Premier League table and still with hope of a top-four finish.

Pedro Porro sends message to Son Heung-min

Son’s beauty of a goal takes him to 100 Premier League goals for Tottenham.

That means the South Korean superstar is now the first Asian player to ever score 100 Premier League goals.

This has been a tricky season for Son but Saturday will have been a huge moment for the 30-year-old.

The plaudits have been flooding in for Son after such a huge achievement, with January signing Porro sending his congratulations.

Porro took to Twitter to celebrate an ‘important victory’, urging his teammates to ‘continue fighting’.

Porro added a congratulatory message for Son having struck up a swift friendship with the Tottenham attacker since arriving in January.

The Spaniard wasn’t really at his best going forward on Saturday, failing to register a key pass or shot on target.

Spurs fans have become used to seeing Porro being a threat going forward but it didn’t quite happen on Saturday.

Porro still played his part in a big Tottenham win and seeing Son hit that 100-goal milestone will have made the victory even sweeter.
