Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has hailed Son Heung-min as a 'fantastic player'.

The South Korean scored a brace in Sunday's 3-1 win over Leicester City.

The victory helps Spurs stay within two points of fourth-placed Arsenal, and Conte has praised his star attacker after the game.

"I gave him a big hug because after an amazing goal my question was, 'Which is his favourite foot, right or left?'" Conte said of Son.

"He scored a fantastic goal and three minutes before, when I spoke with him, I said, 'Go for five or six minutes and then I have to make a change'.

"So [after the game] I said to him, 'You listened that I wanted to make a change and you decide to score this amazing goal!'

"We are talking about a great player, a fantastic player.

"But it's important at the end of the season to celebrate a big achievement with the team. Otherwise it remains only a personal success to score these types of goals."
