Son desperate to maintain scoring run at Spurs

Heung-Min Son believes he is in the form of his life for Tottenham after helping them to their best top-flight start for 51 years with a double at Middlesbrough.

No Harry Kane, no problem for Spurs, as the North London club continues to share the heavy burden of replacing the England striker’s goals around the team.

South Korean star Son has now hit four goals in his three Premier League appearances this season – already taking him past his total for the whole of the last campaign.

He marked his return from international duty with two goals at Stoke, followed up with an all-star show against Sunderland and now it’s a double-double with two goals in successive road trips.

“I shocked myself for the second goal,” said Son.

“I train every day for this (type of) shot; I lost the ball but got it back and took the shot.

“I feel very good now. I felt good last season as well but I got injured. I try to do my best every game, last season was my first in the Premier League and now I want to do better.

“It’s not finished, I look forward and will work hard every day for Tottenham.

“I’m very thankful for the fans, they were unbelievable again, every game. We fight for them as well.

“The reaction was fantastic and it was a great feeling for me. I want to score more goals to see those reactions.”
