A tough afternoon in the Premier League at Wembley was settled by Heung-Min Son’s sublime winner in the second half.
‘Sonny’ curled home from 20 yards to secure the points in a close encounter with clear-cut chances at a premium. That goal made him the highest scoring South Korean in Premier League history, taking him past United legend Ji-Sung Park.
It was a key win with Toby Alderweireld, Dele Alli and goalkeepers Hugo Lloris and Michel Vorm all out injured. Paulo Gazzaniga stepped in for his Spurs debut and made a number of fine saves.
“The win was so important, a massive three points for us,” said Mauricio.
