Tottenham captain Son: The lads never gave up at Man City

Tottenham captain Heung-min Son says they can be happy after their 3-3 draw at Manchester City.

Son scored in the see-sawing contest.

"Of course, that's why we love football," said Son about Spurs keeping their belief. "That's what I told the lads.

"Obviously Man City are a huge, huge team and one of the best teams in the world but that's why we love football, it happens sometimes. We kept believing until 90 minutes so I'm very very proud of the team."

On putting his side ahead before conceding an own goal, he said: "That's football, sometimes it happens. I tried to do the best thing for the team and couldn't react but still good experience to score against Man City.

"The lads haven't given up until the last whistle and brilliant work from Brennan [Johnson], unbelievable cross inside the box and obviously Dejan [Kulusevski] doesn't score headers usually but I'm very proud of him and he's massive.

"I think this point will bring us so much for the season. I think it's a huge point for the team and players' confidence."
