Tottenham’ Son matches Adebayor's Arsenal feat

Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min matched Emmanuel Adebayor’s record with his impressive display against Arsenal on Sunday.

The 28-year-old inspired Jose Mourinho’s men to a comeback 2-1 victory against the Emirates Stadium outfit with his contribution.

The South Korea international cancelled out Alexandre Lacazette opener with a brilliant strike in the 19th minute of the encounter.

The forward then set up Toby Alderweireld to score the all-important winning goal and thus, helped the Lilywhites bounce back to winning ways after they played out a goalless draw against Bournemouth last time out.

Son, thus, became the first Tottenham player to score and assist in a Premier League game against Arsenal since 2012 when Emmanuel Adebayor achieved the feat.
