Heung-min Son rescues win as Tottenham nearly pay the penalty vs Norwich City

Tottenham had Heung-min Son to thank as the forward stepped up in Harry Kane's absence to score a late winner for Spurs against Norwich City.

The South Korean ended a seven-game scoring drought as he nodded home 11 minutes from time just when Spurs were on the rack.

They had taken a first-half lead through Dele Alli, but Teemu Pukki's penalty drew Norwich level and it was the visitors who were in the ascendancy.

Spurs rallied to get the win, their first in the Premier League since Boxing Day which cuts the gap on Chelsea to six points, but not many people, not least Jose Mourinho, will think they are capable of finishing in the top four on this showing.

They did at least find the net, their first in the league since Harry Kane's possible season-ending injury and Mourinho will hope by the time they play Manchester City in 10 days they will have a replacement in.
