Tottenham 3-1 Leicester: Son Heung-min’s double and Harry Kane’s header move Spurs above Arsenal in race for Champions League qualification as Antonio Conte’s side ease past Foxes
- Harry Kane and Son Heung-min saw Spurs past Leicester in the Premier League
- England captain Kane headed in from Son’s corner for the 22nd-minute opener
- Son struck clinically on the hour mark after being played in by Dejan Kulusevski
- The striker then curled in a scintillating effort from long range after 79 minutes
- Kelechi Iheanacho drilled in a late consolation goal from outside the penalty area
- Patson Daka’s shot came off a post in the first half as Leicester remained in 11th
Heung-min Son saved the best until last as Tottenham recovered their rhythm and revived their bid to reach the Champions League.
Collecting a pass from Dejan Kulusevski, Son created a yard of space as he shifted the ball away from Youri Tielemans and onto his left foot and sent a delicious shot curling in an arc around the dive of Kasper Schmeichel and into the top corner of the net.
It was his second of the game, the third for Spurs and it ended any thought that Leicester, distracted and caught between two European ties, might take anything away from this visit to North London.

Antonio Conte’s team had the look of winners from the moment Harry Kane gave them the lead midway through the first half. No team is guaranteed to help Kane back to form. His first goal for six weeks was his 17th in 14 Premier League appearances against Leicester.
When Kane is in the groove, Son is a more influential figure…
