Tottenham star Son Heung-min has praised Lucas Moura after his assist in the 5-0 win over Norwich City on Sunday afternoon.
Tottenham headed to Carrow Road knowing they needed just a point against the already-relegated Canaries to secure Champions League qualification.
Any fears of Tottenham throwing it all away were destroyed early on as Dejan Kulusevski and Harry Kane had Tottenham 3-0 up.
Kulusevski added a third before Son took centre stage, adding two goals of his own to share the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah.
This was a dream day for Tottenham as they racked up the goals and booked their seat at European football’s top table once again.

Tottenham’s star front three were right at it.
Two goals for Kulusevski, two goals for Son, a goal and an assist for Kane; this is the kind of quality Antonio Conte is seeking at Tottenham.
Yet there was also an impact from substitute Lucas Moura, who came on for Kulusevski in the second half.
Moura played Son in for his first goal, producing a lovely first-time flick around the corner to get Son in on goal.
Moura, 29, has managed just two goals and six assists this season. His spot on the right side has certainly been taken by Kulusevski.
The Brazilian’s future this summer seems a little unclear with Tottenham allegedly open to selling him.
Moura has though been praised by Son after his cameo against Norwich.
Son has told Spurs TV that he felt Moura’s assist was ‘a bit underrated’ because it’s hard to play that kind of deft touch with your weaker foot.
Son added that he felt Moura changed the game for Tottenham, providing a spark off the bench in place of Kulusevski.
“The first goal was a bit underrated from Lucas Moura,” said Son. “That’s a difficult touch, especially with the weak foot. I’m really grateful for Lucas.”
“Lucas came on, he changed the game and gave us another fresh leg,” he added.
