Hoffenheim 2-3 Tottenham – Son stars for Spurs

There was a large element of fortune about Son’s first as it deflected off a defender and looped over the goalkeeper, but his second was a quality finish when Tottenham were under increasing pressure. A 2-0 goal advantage never guarantees a win for Tottenham and while this 3-2 victory was closer than it should have been, allowances certainly have to be made for the huge injury list Spurs are contending with.
