PREM ROUND-UP

-

SON Heung-min scored twice as Tottenham beat Huddersfie­ld at Wembley to strengthen their position in the Premier League’s top four.

The South Korean produced two neat finishes, from Dele Alli and Harry Kane assists respective­ly, to take Spurs five points ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea in the table.

Another South Korea internatio­nal, Ki Sung-yueng, gave them the lead, with Mike van der Hoorn, Andy King and Jordan Ayew (from the penalty spot) ensuring a handsome win that takes the Swans above the struggling Hammers and up to 13th in the table.

West Brom’s grasp on a Premier League place was weakened again as Troy Deeney’s goal consigned them to defeat at Watford.

The Baggies remain bottom, eight points from safety with nine games left to play.

Burnley claimed their first win of 2018, ending a run of 11 games without victory, as they came from behind to beat Everton at Turf Moor.

The visitors led through Cenk Tosun’s first goal for the club but an Ashley Barnes finish and header from substitute Chris Wood swung the game decisively in the home side’s favour.

To compound Everton’s woe, Ashley Williams was sent off late in the second half for an elbow on Barnes.

Riyad Mahrez’s superb injurytime free-kick rescued a point for Leicester against Bournemout­h, who had led through Joshua King’s first-half penalty, while Stoke and Southampto­n ground out a draw that does little to aid either’s struggle at the bottom of the table.
