Scoring performance of Son elates Tottenham boss Pochettino

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino was quite impressed with the performance of his striker Son Heung-min in the 3-1 win over Qarabag in the Europa League.


The South Korean striker, who arrived at White Hart Lane from Bayer Leverkusen in the summer, scored a brace as Spurs opened their European account after falling a goal behind early to the Azerbaijani champions.

"He scored twice and played one hour," he said.

"His performance - you can see I am very pleased with him, very happy. His adaptation to the club has been good from the beginning.

"I think I explained before the Sunderland game that Son can play like a striker. He can also play wider. He has the quality to play in different positions on the pitch."
