Tottenham boss Conte happy 2-goal Son smiling again

Tottenham boss Antonio Conte says that he was delighted to see Heung-Min Son smiling again.

The South Korean attacker has not enjoyed the best of seasons so far, by his own lofty standards.

However, he was back to his very best against Eintracht Frankfurt at home in the Champions League, scoring twice in a 3-2 win.

Speaking post-game with reporters, Conte stated on Son: “Yeah, yeah [happy about Son and Kane smiling and playing well] but in the final part of the game maybe we risked canceling out everything we did during the game.

“I think we played a really good game with a lot of good combinations and we created many chances. I think Trapp was the best player for Eintracht Frankfurt, but you know that what kept it from being impressive was the final part.

“Everything could happen and for this reason it has to be a big lesson for us to avoid next time, to be focused until the end."
