At the beginning of this season, Harry Kane was undroppable for Tottenham, despite the fact that he almost certainly needed to be rested after his summer exertions at the World Cup with England.

However, Mauricio Pochettino finally left the 25-year-old out of his starting line up this weekend away at Leicester, and the Argentine boss will have been pleased to find that he can rely on Heung-min Son to step up when his main man needs a break.

Son had an even busier summer than Kane, as almost straight after South Korea were knocked out of the main tournament in Russia, he was back on the plane to eventually win a gold medal for his country at the Asian Games.

Since then though he has been eased back into action by Pochettino, and the 26-year-old now looks like he is back to his best form.

After a somewhat frustrating start, Son broke the deadlock for Spurs in added time of the first-half with a beautiful curling finish beyond the outstretched arms of Kasper Schmeichel.

Playing from the left-hand side with Lucas Moura up front, Son then turned provider in the second half as he put a cross on a plate for Dele Alli to head home and secure all three points at the King Power Stadium.

In total, the South Korean star made eight crosses in the win, whilst also having four shots as he was by far the greatest threat for Pochettino's side.

His two key passes and 81 per cent pass accuracy also show an end product that is sometimes missing from his game when he's off form.

Off form he is certainly not at the moment though, having netted three times in his last four Premier League games. With Fernando Llorente struggling, Tottenham have at least found their man who will step up when Kane is unavailable this season.
