Son says emotional Spurs farewell - how much will they miss him?

Son Heung-min said an emotional farewell as he played what is expected to be the final game of his Tottenham career in front of his adoring home supporters in Seoul.

The South Korea forward was embraced by his Spurs team-mates and the opposing Newcastle players, and they performed a guard of honour when he was substituted in the 65th minute.

Having handed the captain's armband to Ben Davies, 33-year-old Son was welcomed off the pitch by the backroom staff and substitutes before he took his place on the bench, resting his head in his hands as he fought back tears.
