In case you didn’t know…
With Harry Kane injured, Tottenham have been relying on Son to score goals. He pulled off an impressive performance in the quarter-final first leg clash against Manchester City, scoring the only goal of the game. In the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium, he scored a brace as Spurs advanced to the semi-finals on away-goals.
Son has been enjoying a stellar campaign, with the 26-year-old thus far scoring 20 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions. Son has indeed delivered and proved his calibre in Kane’s absence.
The heart of the matter
Ajax have been a joy to watch this season. The Eredivisie leaders knocked out Real Madrid from the Round of 16 of the Champions League before dumping out Juventus in the quarter-finals. The young and energetic team have done superbly well to reach the semi-finals, where they will come up against Spurs.
And Son said that while he is sad to miss the first leg against Ajax, he is confident about his getting the job done in north London next week.
What’s next?
Son and Tottenham will currently turn their attention towards Saturday’s Premier League game against West Ham. Fighting for a top-four finish, Mauricio Pochettino’s side are presently third with 70 points, three points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea.
