Shining Son is main man in Moscow

TOTTENHAM’S Champions League campaign is up and running after Son Heung-min scored his fifth goal in as many games. Spurs dominated possession in the CSKA Arena but struggled to break down their resilient opponents until Son struck in the 71st minute to seal an invaluable three points. The victory lifts Mauricio Pochettino’s men up to second in Group E and only a point behind Monaco, who drew 1-1 at home to Bayer Leverkusen. Pochettino replaced striker Vincent Janssen in the 66th minute with Georges-Kevin N’koudo. And it worked as five minutes later Spurs took the lead. Erik Lamela set free Son, who sent the ball under Igor Akinfeev and over the line. CSKA went close to an equaliser when Roman Eremenko tested Hugo Lloris from distance before Mario Fernandes flashed a ball across the face of goal. Spurs, however, were not to be denied.
