Tottenham's 2-goal Son relieved after victory over Eintracht Frankfurt

Heung-min Son was delighted after his brace helped Tottenham defeat Champions League opponents Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2.

Son admits the Germans pushed them hard all evening.

He said, "The last five minutes were really tough. In the Champions League you never know what will happen. It was uncomfortable sitting on the bench and watching. The most important thing was the three points."

"It's our home and we don't want to go 1-0 down. A team mistake. In football there's always mistakes. We bounced back. At half-time 3-1 really good performance and result. In the second half we needed to score more to finish the game."

On his second goal, Son added: "When the ball came to me, Pierre saw me before crossing. The ball was just really clear to me and there was only one option to take the volley. I hit it really clean. I was very happy.

"It was a really important win. Positive things but always room for improvement. We have to improve because we have a massive game at the weekend.

"There's still two games to play. We have to go again. Two tough games, we need to prepare more than the other teams."
