Kane to Son, Son to Kane
Kane to Son, Son to Kane.That is 50 times now the pair have combined to score, but only twice in the Champions League.
So Wednesday night’s was a rare goal, but an important one, too. When Harry Kane found Son Heung-min after 19 minutes, it provided the platform on which Tottenham built a crucial victory in what is proving to be a nip and tuck group
And it also set the brilliant Son on the way to another match-defining performance, including one of the greatest goals of his career.Ultimately, this leaves Tottenham top of their group, with the potential to secure qualification at home to Sporting Lisbon next time out, if results go their way.

If the last few minutes were unnecessarily nervy after Eintracht Frankfurt made it 3-2, this was an impressive Tottenham performance, responding magnificently after going behind just 14 minutes into the game. And in Kane and Son they have arguably the greatest partnership of the current Premier League era, two players who ensure that while Tottenham stay in touch, they are never out of a game.How many did Frankfurt need to make this match Kane and Son proof? Certainly more than one.
Yet while the partnership is crucial to Tottenham’s success, کلاه کراسی Wednesday night belonged to the rejuvenated Son. Left out of the side by Antonio Conte after a drop in form, he returned with a Premier League hat-trick against Leicester, and now this.He’s only scored in two games this season but, together, they have yielded five goals.
His third here was one of the finest of his career – it would take first prize in many careers, to be fair – and there was no clearer sign of the difficulty Frankfurt were having containing him than the fate of Brazilian defender Tuta in the second-half.
Spurs though fell behind on home soil when an Eric Dier error led to Daichi Kamada turning home a low effort in the first half
