New Tottenham hero Son lavishes praise on ‘amazing’ Spurs fans

Son Heung-min was over the moon after influencing Tottenham to a come-from-behind win the Europa League on Thursday night.


The South Korean forward, starting just his second game for the North London club, scored a quick-fire double as Spurs came from a goal down to beat Azerbaijani champions Qarabag 3-1 at White Hart Lane.

Of the victory, and the performance of the crowd, former Bayer Leverkusen star Son was clearly upbeat when speaking to Spurs TV afterwards.

"The fans were amazing," said Son.

"It was great at White Hart Lane. It was amazing.

"First half was not the best but we're happy to win."

Son also heaped praise on young midfielder Dele Alli who was extremely impressive throughout, setting up the second goal with a clever pass.

"Dele is a great player he's young and talented - I can link up well with him," added Son.
