Tottenham

Tottenham beat Leicester 3-1 thanks to a goal from Harry Kane and a brace from Son, climbing back up to fourth in the Premier League.

Nothing looked on when Kulusevki rolled the ball back to Son on the edge of the penalty area but a curling shot that dipped just below the crossbar gave Schmeichel no chance and left Leicester with a mountain to climb. The last time these sides met in January, two stoppage-time goals from Steven Bergwijn snatched a dramatic victory for Tottenham that Conte said “highlighted the spirit and commitment” of his players. “It’s a very important result because there is a lot of pressure at this stage of the season.

Kane was first to it but Schmeichel made the save at his feet. Son's second settled the match before Leicester produced a late flourish. Referee Jon Moss was not interested in the claims. Leicester are among those teams with shifting priorities at this stage of the campaign. No team is guaranteed to help Kane back to form quite like Leicester. This was his first goal for six weeks and his 17th in 14 Premier League appearances against them. Three minutes later, he went off to a standing ovation and received a cuddle from Conte.

Son Heung-min's double after Harry Kane's header gave Champions League-chasing Tottenham a 3-1 victory over Leicester.

We want to finish in the Champions League and I want to play in the Champions League." When I hit it I could see the way the ball flied and I was happy to score that. Brendan Rodgers' side continued to look for the equaliser in the second half but suffered a sucker punch when Son made it two.

Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte has suggested to Football.London that he still does not know Son Heung-min's stronger foot.

But it’s important at the end of the season to celebrate a big achievement with the team. Otherwise, it remains only a personal success only to score these types of goals.” Tottenham head coach Conte has praised Son, and has suggested that he still does not know the forward’s weaker foot.

Spurs briefly went into fourth, before rivals Arsenal won 2-1 over West Ham, but the win means they are still in contention for Champions League qualification ...

Kane also bagged his 19th goal in 18 games against Leicester – who are his favourite team to play against. Kulusevski passed to Son and with acres of space on the edge of the box, he curled his shot into the top corner. Spurs grabbed a crucial second goal on the hour mark to give them a cushion and deter any hopes of the Foxes getting back into the match.

But with the likes of Harry Kane, Son Heung-Min and Dejan Kulusevski in their ranks, anything is possible and someone like Antonio Conte will not want to settle ...

While there is no doubting that Dejan Kulusevski has filled a vital role in Conte's front three, increasing competition for those places would not do any harm at all. Here, football.london takes a look at two free agents he could sign to take them closer to that goal and save a fortune. Tottenham are once again going through a tricky patch after taking just one point from matches with Brighton and Brentford this week.

TOTTENHAM returned to winning ways in their bid for a top-four Premier League finish.

Conte made a bold move to switch Kulusevski out for Lucas - unsuccessfully after the Brazilian was hauled off before the hour mark. Tottenham have arguably boasted the top-flight's best two players in 2022, with both being directly involved in 16 goals since the turn of the year. Kelechi Iheanacho netted a late consolation for the visitors on a day that blatantly played second-fiddle to next week's trip to Rome.

Heung-min Son scored twice and set up a Harry Kane goal as Tottenham Hotspur did enough to beat much-changed Leicester City 3-1 in North London on Sunday.

3. Leicester’s focus understandable: The Foxes didn’t just have injuries to deal with but the understanding that their return to Europe is very, very important if they want to keep hold of their best players and also attract suitable replacements. A goal away from his first 20-goal PL season, Son has already set his career-best goal mark and is three assists from his 2019-20 standard of 11. 1. Son’s sensational season continues: Heung-min Son went a month without a goal early in the season and that along with two short injury absences may well keep the South Korean from the Golden Boot. Since scoring at home to Brentford on Dec. 2, Son has 15 goals and seven assists.

Grabbed another assist with his corner for Kane and then fired home himself on the hour mark with a clinical turn and finish. Sent a header over from Sessegnon's cross late in the half. The one time he did he picked out Lucas for a chance towards the end of the first half. Dominated in midfield for much of the match, setting the tone with some crunching tackles in the centre of the pitch in the early stages. Less to do from an attacking sense as those in front did the work, and that suited him perfectly and helped him concentrate on his defending, which was very good. Made a superb early save to tip Daka's shot onto the right-hand post and, in the second half, flew out to deny Iheanacho. Didn't have much to do, but what he did was important and stopped the game from turning.

Cristian Romero delivered another masterclass in defence as Tottenham beat Leicester City 3-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Paratici pulled off a transfer masterclass convincing the player that Spurs was the place for him to be despite their lack of Champions League football and the deal is only going to benefit the club for years to come.

That trio of games comes after a meeting with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge on Saturday. However, they do have the disadvantage of playing in the FA Cup final against Liverpool at Wembley Stadium in the middle of their quartet of final league games. With four games left, it appears to be a three-team race for fourth place between the London trio to clinch third and fourth. And a slip-up for defending Champions League holders Chelsea could potentially affect their chances of qualifying for the competition next season.

JAMIE O'HARA has a clear favourite for the top four amid claims that Arsenal will blow three of their final four Premier League matches.

Newcastle are still in the bottom half but have seen a dramatic upturn in form since Eddie Howe's reign hit top gear, and Everton could go into the final day fighting for their Premier League survival having last been relegated in 1951. Ex- Tottenham player Jamie O'Hara has tipped Arsenal to crumble under the top-four pressure by winning just one of their final four Premier League games this season. As it stands, the Gunners are two points ahead in the table with four matches to go.

Parlour joked about Tottenham after Jamie O'Hara claimed that Arsenal won't make top four in Premier League this season.
