Son Heung-min's double for Tottenham against Leicester on Sunday has brought up a career-best goals return in the Premier League for the South Korean forward.

The 29-year-old hit two second-half goals for Spurs in their 3-1 win over the Foxes, netting after an hour and then again 11 minutes from time to boost his team's top-four hopes.

Son's first came after defender Cristian Romero twice won the ball back and the South Korean pointed to the Argentine defender to acknowledge his contribution in the celebrations.
