Son takes a bow after latest brace

Tottenham climbed to third in the Premier League but lost top scorer Harry Kane to injury as they came from behind to win 4-1 at Bournemouth yesterday.

England international Kane limped off with just over half an hour played at the Vitality Stadium after sustaining an ankle problem while scoring an offside goal.

Spurs were 1-0 down at that point, following Junior Stanislas’ early opener, but a Dele Alli goal as well as Son Heung-min, pictured, grabbing a brace and Serge Aurier striking late on turned the game in their favour as they bounced back from their midweek Champions League exit to move above Liverpool in the battle for a top-four finish.

Victory on the south coast stretched Spurs’ unbeaten league run to 12 games, although Kane’s early departure will undoubtedly be at the front of manager Mauricio Pochettino’s mind ahead of next weekend’s important FA Cup quarterfinal at Swansea.

Elsewhere, Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech racked up his 200th Premier League clean sheet in style by saving Troy Deeney’s penalty as the Gunners beat Watford 3-0 at the Emirates thanks to goals from Shkodran Mustafi, PierreEmerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
