Conte not worried about Tottenham man’s form after Fulham match

Tottenham Hotspur continued their unbeaten run to the season with a 2-1 win against Fulham.

Goals from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Harry Kane secured a win against the newly promoted side.

Antonio Conte will be pleased with how his three forward players combined throughout the match.

It was the first time Kane, Richarlison and Son Heung-min had started together for Tottenham.

Despite not scoring for the sixth game on the bounce, Conte said he’s not worried about Son’s form.

Conte spoke to BT Sport, via BBC Sport (18:33 3/9): “He has to be calm because today the performance was good.

“He’s important for us, the most important thing is to get three points, for sure he can have the personal satisfaction to score this season.

Conte added in his interview with BBC Sport: “Sonny, today one goal was disallowed, and he hit the crossbar, and then he also had other chances.

“I really am not worried. I’m not worried because in every game the strikers have a lot of opportunities to score.

“For sure it will happen that a player like Sonny starts to score.”

Conte not worried about Son form

The South Korean has not hit the heights of last season, after sharing the Golden Boot with Mohamed Salah.

His longest streak without a goal last season was four games.

He was unlucky not to open his account for the season against Fulham yesterday.

The 30-year-old will have come away from the game frustrated, as Marco Silva’s side did give Son chances.

However, the 100-cap forward did enough alongside his teammates to maintain their 100% winning home record.

His next opportunity to score will now come in the Champions League against Marseille on Wednesday.
