Son Heung-min Scores Two Goals, Leads Tottenham’s Win
Nobody is foolish enough to think this way now.
Tottenham play host to Juventus on Wednesday evening.
It is his 15th goal of the season, scoring more than ten goals for the second consecutive season.
We made a big step in that aspect with what we did in the group, and now we’ve got to try and do it against the big teams consistently.
Which Tottenham and Arsenal stars make our combined XI? “They showed quality but today we showed fighting spirit, effort, attitude and they were only too good for us”. With only two assists and no goals to show from his last 7 league appearances, he also needs to find an end-product to his game which put his name in the headlines last season.
Burnley supporters must have despaired when their team went a goal down at home to Everton, because Sean Dyche’s team have never won a Premier League game after falling behind. Juventus will be desperate to win the tie and the competition overall.
It’s the versatility though, rather than the quantity of goals, that is particularly impressive. There is always a colleague to pass to, always an option on the ball. Mo Salah is a very offensive midfielder, more of a striker than a holding player.
The opening minutes of this match were tight and intense. While the Baggies found a reply with nearly half an hour remaining in the match, Huddersfield remained in control of proceedings and calmly negotiated their way to victory and three vital points.
“Two wonderful goals and a few more possible”. The shot was pushed away by home keeper Hugo Lloris. Spurs then return to Premier League action on Sunday 11 when they face AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium (4pm).
“We feel comfortable here at Wembley now”.
“The way the manager sets us up in every game we are always on the front foot, always pressing, always playing attacking football”.
It was a tribute to his growing importance to the side.
That reliability and tenacity hasn’t stopped with the resumption of Kane’s form, with the former Bayer Leverkusen man regularly stepping up to fill in when his more prolific teammate has an off day. Also came close to scoring on a couple of occasions.
The Korean winger took some time to adjust to life in England, but beginning in the second half of last season has emerged as one of the league’s elite attackers.
With a two-goal advantage and the momentum, Pochettino gradually substituted Son, Mousa Dembele and Alli, suggesting all three can expect to start against Juve.
