Spurs goalscorer Son: Fight-back against Man Utd was for fans

Tottenham striker Heung-min Son insists they deserved their 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

United were 2-0 ahead at halftime through Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford before Spurs turned things around via goals from Pedro Porro and Son.

"I thought we didn't deserve to be 2-0 down in the first half. We played quite well, we had the chances to score but we weren't clinical enough," said Son.

"I think in the second half we showed great character, but we're not happy we didn't get three points. The final decision making wasn't perfect.

"We didn't want to let the fans down, we wanted to give everything and that was the dressing room speech. We couldn't let the game go. We were really angry about it, we didn't deserve to be 2-0 down at half-time. I think the lads showed really good character.

"Football is all about the fans. The last week was unacceptable and we didn't want to repeat that. We feel really, really sorry for the performance and result [at Newcastle] and today we wanted to bring a good energy. With them, we really appreciated their support. They were fighting with us."
