Son Heung-min shines for Tottenham

Tottenham 1 Crystal Palace 0: Tottenham earned their first home win of the Premier League season with a 1-0 defeat of Crystal Palace.

Endearing himself to the fans on his home league debut, Son Heung-min, signed from Bayer Leverkusen towards the end of the transfer window for a reported fee of €30m, scored the 68th-minute winning goal that his fine performance deserved.

For all of Spurs’ superiority in possession and quality in the final third, they were at risk of finishing without victory. Harry Kane often left the penalty area in pursuit of possession and in doing so left Spurs without a focal point.
