​Tottenham boss Nuno hails attacker Son: He's a killer!

Tottenham boss Nuno Espirito Santo was full of praise for Son Heung-Min after the South Korean netted the winner against Manchester City in the Premier League.

Spurs began their league campaign in the best possible fashion, winning 1-0 at home over the champions on Sunday.

Son netted the only goal of the game in the 55th minute after a fine team counter attack, fizzing a shot into the bottom corner from outside the penalty box.

Asked about Son's quality post-game, Nuno said: "I think he did well. Sonny and the talent he has is amazing. I truly believe that he is versatile enough to play and develop the tasks in all the positions at the front. He's dynamic, has speed and he knows the game.

"Like I said before, Sonny is in the moment where he knows and he can find the gaps, the spaces and he's a killer, a killer.

"He did ok but I still believe that even in the first half he had actions that he will do better for sure in the future."
