Manchester City 4-3 Tottenham: 5 Hits and Flops

#2 Hit: Heung-Min Son

Son, just like Sterling, netted a first-half brace - including this fantastic strike to gift Spurs the lead again

A lot has been said about Harry Kane's absence and how Tottenham would deal with their talisman being sidelined. Yet again though, Son proved critics and the naysayers wrong - he is more than capable of being up to the task.

Popped up with two quick-fire goals to stun a nervy City backline, the second of which was a strike of the highest quality beyond a helpless Ederson. His first was just as ruthless, albeit not the cleanest strike, after Laporte's mistake in possession gifted the visitors a counter-attacking opportunity.

He deceived the Brazilian to slot home from close-range, despite Ederson's best efforts - but there was no stopping his second minutes later. It flew into the top corner from distance and his strike zapped the life out of the stadium, even if just for a ten-minute spell.

His finishing has, just like Sterling, been progressively improving in recent seasons and despite fading in influence during City's dominant second-half display, he crucially did enough to force them into an attack-heavy mindset - one they were not expecting after Sterling's opener. Worked hard out of possession as usual and carried the ball forward well during a less busy second-half in the final third for Tottenham.
