Heung-min Son secures Tottenham routine win against Huddersfield
Heung-min Son scored twice as Tottenham strengthened their place in the top four in the Premier League with a comfortable 2-0 win over Huddersfield at Wembley.
Son put Spurs ahead in the 27th minute when he was played through and took the ball around Jonas Lossl before finishing into the empty net.
The second goal arrived shortly after half-time when Son expertly guided a header into the corner from Harry Kane’s brilliant cross.

Man of the match: Heung-Min Son
Huddersfield, who were seeking a third straight Premier League win, hardly threatened on their first return to Wembley since winning the Championship play-off final last season.
The result is the ideal preparation for Spurs ahead of the second leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with Juventus on Wednesday, and moves them five points ahead of fifth-placed Chelsea, who play Manchester City on Sunday.
Spurs dominated from the start and took the lead in the 27th minute when the excellent Son was played through by Dele Alli and coolly took the ball around Lossl before finishing across goal.
