MATT BARLOW: Kieran Trippier was tormented by Heung-min Son as mental and physical fatigue caught up with Newcastle in Tottenham defeat

After his torment at Everton, Kieran Trippier could have done without Heung-min Son turning up on Tottenham's left wing and twisting him inside out.

Trippier has been exceptional since joining Newcastle. Stress-tested at the top of Spain's La Liga, he returned to English football with the look of the complete full back.

Mature and fluent in the dark arts of defending, as taught by Diego Simeone at Atletico Madrid while still in possession of the consistently brilliant delivery from wide areas and set pieces that made his name.
