Pochettino, Son and Pedro land Premier League awards

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino and winger Son Heung-min have been named Barclays manager of the month and player of the month respectively.

A win for Spurs today would cement their position in second place which would represent their best ever Premier League finish.

Son has 12 goals in the EPL, in addition to six goals in the English Football Association (FA) Cup and one goal in the UEFA Champions League.

The Tottenham striker is still in the mix to finish top goal scorer in the Premier League.

The title is gone now and the same will soon apply to White Hart Lane, 1899 to 2017, but it was some way to go and one final happy memory from the stadium that gave us The Game Is About Glory. “But we have three games more and I just want to score more goals, make more assists and get more points”.

“After 2-0 we had to bring a bit more quality to the team, we brought more balance”, Mourinho said in his post-match press conference.

Goals from Victor Wanyama and Harry Kane paved the way for a 17th successive victory at the famous old ground, which was due to welcome in the bulldozers within hours of the final whistle as former players and managers took to the pitch for an emotional farewell ceremony.

Ahead of the game, Mauricio Pochettino has been speaking to the media at his pre-match press conference this afternoon and he’s offered a team news and injury update.

The Brazil global moved to White Hart Lane in the summer of 2013 and was signed as part of the proceeds of the North London club’s sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid.

United made eight alterations to their starting line-up from the team that edged into the Europa League final against Celta Vigo on Thursday, with Eric Bailly, Daley Blind and Jesse Lingard the only players to keep their place.

Manchester United will be without five players, with Jose Mourinho confirming on Wednesday the injured Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Marcos Rojo, Luke Shaw and Ashley Young will be out for the rest of the season.

It was only once May had started that Tottenham saw their title challenge come to an abrupt halt as West Ham ended their nine-game winning streak with a 1-0 victory at London Stadium last week.
