    Tottenham really needs to pray that Korea gets knocked out early in the Asian Cup. Worst case scenario for Spurs is Korea going all the way to the finals (which is likely based on the quality of their current squad, but then again, their coach is Klinsmann, so chance of early exit is definitely there) and Son getting injured in that match.

    The problem with Son is that he is irreplaceable. Not only is he a world class finisher, but his popularity is going to be extremely hard for Tottenham to replace. I honestly cannot imagine a post Son Korean national team. He is THE face of Korean football, and he has world class skills to bring the house down. Without him, everything will just be meh.

    Fantastic goal, and proper reward for running his ass off to press the keeper. I’ve noticed that under Ange Son has really been busting his lungs to press, no wonder he’s getting subbed off at 60-70 mins frequently. If he didnt run hard over to the keeper there he probably wouldnt have been in as good of a position to receive the ball after the turn over.

    110 goals for Spurs puts him past Giggs at 11th place for single club PL goals, 10th is Gerrard at 120 goals for Liverpool, then 128 for Fowler.
