Daliath. Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 Heung-Min Son's late goal finally broke down Newcastle's resistance as Tottenham earned a 1-0 win at Wembley in the Premier League on Saturday. The South Korean, who has now scored two in two since returning from the Asia Cup, saw a low effort from the edge of the box creep under the body of Newcastle goalkeeper Martin Dubravka (83), who will feel he should have done better. In an entertaining clash, Lucas Moura missed a fine opportunity in the first half, heading wide in space, Erik Lamela hit the woodwork with his own headed effort, while at the other end after half-time Salomon Rondon also nodded against the far post. Player ratings Tottenham: Lloris (7), Trippier (7), Alderweireld (7), Sanchez (7), Vertonghen (7), Lamela (6), Winks (7), Sissoko (6), Eriksen (8), Son (8), Moura (6) Subs: Llorente (7), Rose (NA), Dier (NA) Newcastle: Dubravka (4), Yedlin (6), Lejeune (6), Schar (6), Lascelles (6), Ritchie (6), Hayden (6), Longstaff (6), Atsu (6), Perez (6), Rondon (7) Subs: Kenedy (NA), Barreca (NA) Man of the match: Heung-Min Son Man of the match - Heung-Min Son Son proved once again what Spurs had been missing during his stint at the Asia Cup. His goal may have squirmed under Dubravka, but his touch to set up the shot, away from Sean Longstaff, was superb. He was a constant nuisance for the Newcastle defence - his 16 sprints were the most from any player - and the more we hear from Son, the less Harry Kane is missed.
