Baffled by booking

Pochettino

TOTTENHAM manager Mauricio Pochettino was left perplexed by Michael Oliver’s decision to book Son Heung-min for diving in his side’s 3-1 win over Leicester.

Son was booked in the first half after going down in the area under a challenge from Harry Maguire, becoming the fourth Spurs player to be yellow-carded for simulation this season.

The South Korean went on to get on the scoresheet at Wembley, putting the finishing touches on a win that had been set up by Davinson Sanchez and Christian Eriksen goals.

Pochettino was baffled by the booking.

“Do you think Sonny deserved to be booked? Unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable,” he said.

The win keeps Tottenham in the Premier League title race, five points off the top, after their 20th win of the season.
