Son Heung-min dazzled for Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday night.
Son Heung-min sent Tottenham Hotspur on their way last night.
Son opened the scoring in Saturday’s 2-0 win at Leicester City with a brilliant left-footed strike from outside the box which left Kasper Schmeichel with no chance.
The Tottenham forward also scored in Wednesday’s 3-1 win over Southampton at Wembley, meaning that he has found the net in back-to-back Premier League games for the first time since March.
The 26-year-old didn’t open his account for Spurs this season until October 31 in the Carabao Cup win over West Ham, with Lilywhites boss Mauricio Pochettino admitting to Football London last night that he was ‘disappointed’ with Son earlier this season.
But the South Korean star now has five goals to his name in all competitions – three in the Premier League – and fans of the North London side were left raving about him last night.
Pochettino rested Harry Kane for the win at Leicester, meaning Son’s performance was that bit more important considering the goalscoring burden fell on him.
But Dele Alli also excelled for Tottenham, scoring the second with a diving header.
Pochettino’s side now visit Barcelona on Tuesday in a must-win Champions League clash and Son, going by recent form, is certain to start.
