Champions League - Tottenham 1-0 Manchester City: 5 Hits and Flops

#1 Hit: Heung-Min Son

Son celebrates his second goal in two games with a smart finish to gift Spurs a slender UCL advantage

The Alli-Kane combination play was encouraging in flashes, while Eriksen showed his class when called upon too. However their best performer on a memorable evening was Heung-Min Son once again.

The South Korean forward scored the first during their 2-0 win over Crystal Palace last Monday and after five games without, now has two goals in two matches for Spurs. He's returning to top form at precisely the right time - not least now that Kane is reportedly sidelined for the remainder of this campaign.

His infectious pressing was on display as Manchester City struggled to establish their regular attacking rhythm, while he chiselled away at a vulnerable Fabian Delph before earning his reward with a smart finish to turn matchwinner in arguably the biggest game of their campaign to date.

The spatial awareness to give Eriksen an unmarked option out wide, to the agility and balance required to keep the ball in play, his goal typified the never-say-die attitude he plays with. Questions will be asked of Ederson after failing to save the strike at his near post having squirmed through his legs, but it was a deft finish from the 26-year-old - who fired low and hard from a difficult angle to prove once more why he's one of Tottenham's key players.

With 88.9% pass accuracy, two tackles and interceptions to accompany 36 touches - the lowest tally of any player who featured for the full 90 minutes - it goes to show Son doesn't need the ball at his feet to thrive or prove a nuisance for opposition defenders.
