Tottenham must put the disappointment of their first defeat of the season behind them and "stay strong" ahead of the north London derby with Arsenal on Sunday.
That's the message from Heung-min Son, who returned from suspension in Spurs' 1-0 defeat against Newcastle United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium yesterday (Sunday).
But the South Korean international was unable to prevent Mauricio Pochettino's men from losing for the first time in the Premier League this season, with Newcastle's club record signing Joelinton netting the only goal of the game.
And speaking after the game to BBC programme Match of the Day, Son delivered a clear message for his team-mates.
“We need to be strong in this situation and have to find a better solution than we did today," he said.
It was a message that echoed what his manager said, with Pochettino admitting that his players were not at their best as Steve Bruce's men claimed a surprise victory in north London.
"I am very disappointed, like everyone," he said.
"I am very disappointed with the result, the performance, and we didn't play well.
"It was impossible to break down their organisation, but of course, we conceded a cheap goal, and we needed some players to step up, but we didn't and we couldn't show that quality."
Spurs now begin their preparations for the game against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium, which takes place on Sunday.
