Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways at the weekend, with a hard fought 1-0 win against Brighton & Hove Albion.

The only goal of the game came from a brilliant improvised finish from Harry Kane after a Son Heung-min cross.

However, a report from Football London has suggested Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg was shouting at Son to concentrate during the game.

The report suggests that Son was chatting with Kane while Brighton were getting ready to take a free kick.

Hojbjerg noticed the two forwards talking and wasn’t best pleased, screaming at Son to prepare for the game to start again.

The Danish midfielder certainly isn’t a player to hide his emotions during a match.

He was visibly unhappy after Tottenham’s draw against Frankfurt in the Champions League.

And during last weekend’s north London derby, he was berating Emerson Royal just moments before he got sent off.

After a blip after the international break last week, Spurs fans will be glad to be back to winning ways.

Despite not playing their best football this season, results have been very positive.

Harry Kane’s impressive start to the season has been overshadowed by the arrival of Erling Haaland, but shouldn’t be underestimated.

His eight league goals this season has dispelled the theory that he starts every season slowly.

Son has not enjoyed the same fast start to the campaign.

The South Korean arrived in 2015 for £22m from Bayer Leverkusen and has formed a lethal partnership with Kane.

Ledley King has backed him to be remembered as a Spurs legend alongside the English striker.

However, he won’t be pleased with his current form, especially with three massive Champions League matches approaching before the World Cup.

Hojbjerg won’t mind shouting at Son and any of his other teammates to make sure they’re at their best during matches.

He’ll be hoping he doesn’t have to when Frankfurt arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday.
