Son keeps Spurs in the hunt

ANTONIO Conte revealed he told Son Heung-min he would be coming off moments before scoring a brilliant goal in Tottenham’s 3-1 win over Leicester.

Son grabbed his second of the game and 19th of the season in style as he curled a 20-yard effort into the top corner to put the seal on Spurs’ victory.

He had earlier set up Harry Kane’s opener from a corner and doubled the lead when he turned and shot on mark.

The quality of the goal left Conte wondering which was Son’s strongest foot, but the Italian said moments like that will only count for something if Spurs achieve their goal of finishing in the top four.

“I gave him a big hug because after an amazing goal my question was which is his favourite foot, right or left?” Conte said.

“He scored a fantastic goal and three minutes

the hour before when I spoke with him I said, ‘Go for five or six minutes and then I have to make a change’.

“I said to him that when you listened that I wanted to make a change and you decide to score this amazing goal.

“We are talking about a great player, fantastic player. But it’s important at the end of the season to celebrate a big achievement with the team. Otherwise it remains only a personal success only to score these types of goals.”
