He said: “You have to remember that this is without their talisman. Harry Kane didn’t play today. The Spurs fans would have been worried.“But that guy loves responsibility. Son takes that on the chin and says: ‘Yeah, give it to me. I’ll take all that responsibility. I’ll shoulder that now.’“The way he played, especially in the first-half, was beautiful.”
