Juventus dug deep to find a way past Tottenham in the Champions League.

#4 Son Heung-min is so good he will always be underrated

Son Heung-min had another top-notch game despite his side losing out.

All the talk this season has been about Harry Kane being the force behind Tottenham's success, but this kid isn't having any of it.

He has, week after week, forced the spotlight to be shifted from Harry Kane onto him and deservedly so, may I add. He was left out of the first leg in Turin and was clearly miffed with the coach following his exclusion.

But instead of throwing a tantrum (like so many footballers these days are prone to do), Son merely got on with his business of scoring goals, in the game against Huddersfield, in the Premier League on Sunday. Two as a matter of fact, and the manager could ignore him no longer.

The only thing that beats the inevitability of the South Korean getting on the score-sheet, is the eventual death of all life.

He kept making runs in-behind the defence and found himself in plenty of one-on-one situations against the defenders, firing just wide on a couple of occasions from similar positions. He could've gotten a hat-trick (or more), but for a couple of saves by Buffon and another couple of attempts to find the inside-top corner with either foot flying just wide.

We love him here at Sportskeeda and can't quite get enough of the man. That electrifying smile on his face is matched only by the electrifying performances this kid puts in every time he walks onto a football pitch.

Here is a stat to substantiate our love for Son Heung-min.
