Heung-min Son was delighted to help Tottenham to a 3-1 win against Leicester on Sunday.

Son scored twice for the triumph.

He said, "It is always good to win the game that way, three goals in the Premier League is not easy but it was a fantastic performance from the team and we deserved the win.

"It is always important to score as early as possible, especially when you're playing at home. We talked about wanting to score set pieces and we worked really hard. We practised some situations in training and we are happy to score in that way.

"If we're not scoring goals we are going to struggle and Harry's goal was really important."

On the part played by Cristian Romero's tackle for Spurs' second goal and his stunning strike for the third: "Winning the tackle was a risky challenge but sometimes you need it and Cristian made an unbelievable tackle.

"I was happy to score that really beautiful goal. When I hit the ball I could see the way the ball flied and I was happy to score that. but I'm more happy to play well and get the three points."

On the prospect of winning the Golden Boot after scoring his 19th league goal of the season, he concluded: "It's not important for me. Scoring goals is really good but you can't score alone. You need the team.

"If I get the chances then I will try to score. The Golden Boot is always a dream but the team is most important. We want to finish in the Champions League and I want to play in the Champions League."
