Antonio Conte reveals dressing room message to star forward Son Heung-min after terrific goal

Tottenham striker Son Heung-min continues to write his name into the hearts of spurs fans and today he scored an absolute beauty to settle a 3-1 victory over Leicester City.

The third goal with his left foot outside the penalty box which nestled into the top left of Kasper Schmeichel’s net will be considered for the club’s goal of the season if not the Premier League’s goal of the season award.

The South Koreans has also put himself in the discussions for Player of the Season having led from the front as the Lillywhites continue the hunt for Champions League football next season.

The 29-year-old literally drove Spurs to the win, their first in the last three games after serving one on the plate for Kane to open the scoring and ended his own goal drought before scoring the other two to confirm all three points.

Only Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah with 22 goals has scored more goals than the South Koreans in what has been another remarkable season for the forward in North London.

Asked what message he gave to his striker after his brilliant goal, manager Antonio Conte said he asked him which of his foots were his favourites.

Tottenham’s Italian manager said: “I gave him a big hug after an amazing goal.

“My question is what is your favourite foot, his right or left? He scored a fantastic goal and before I had said five or six minutes I had to make a change and he scored an amazing goal.”

It was quite important for Tottenham to return to winning ways after they had lost to Brighton and then drew away to Brentford away, results which threatened to derail their Champions League hopes.

All attention is now turned to the weekend’s blockbuster against title chasing Liverpool at Anfield with Spurs holding big aspirations themselves.
