Tottenham hero Son Heung-min admits their double Cup knockout "hurts like you can't even imagine".

Son was with South Korea for the Asian Cup and missed both Cup exits.

He watched all Spurs games while he was away on international duty in Dubai, and admitted it was painful to watch Mauricio Pochettino's side struggle.

He said: “When you go away, and the team goes out in a [Carabao Cup] semi-final and then the FA Cup, of course it hurts. It hurts like you can't even imagine.

“So it was very important to win again, we showed good character."
