Heung-min Son has been in fine form for Tottenham this season and continues to impress on the European stage. The 27-year-old was outstanding in Tuesday’s 5-0 win over Crvena zvezda and was lauded by supporters on social media as a result.
Son scored two goals on the night and was a constant threat for Tottenham. His first came in the 16th minute from an Erik Lamela cross that he side-footed into the roof of the net (2-0) and his second saw him being freed by Tanguy Ndombele and finishing past the goalkeeper from close range (3-0).
Son and Kane both deserved to get a hat trick today they played brilliantly. Lamela and ndombele were very good too. A few chances wasted but very excellent display from the team all around. Onto the next game which is a must win. #COYS

#THFC on fire tonight. Could have had even more. Main takeaways – confidence restored, group picture much more healthy, big performances from Son, Kane, Aurier and Lamela, and a few getting some rest ahead of #LFC this weekend. #totczv
