Pochettino delighted with Son double

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino basked in Son Heung-min's performance after the striker's double secured a 3-1 Europa League win over Qarabag.

The Premier League side began their Group J campaign by grabbing all three points despite falling behind early on.

"It was a very good debut for him," said Pochettino.

"He's a very nice guy and he scored, which is great.

"In the end we fully deserved the result. We have a good balance and a lot of competition and I'm happy with that.

"After we conceded it was difficult but I am pleased with the character and personality."

"The most important thing is to get the three points, it was the target before the game and we did well after conceding the penalty," he said. 

"We started the game too slowly and after conceding, we picked up our level and came back into the game."
