BT Sport commentator Jermaine Jenas was blown away by Heung-Min Son in Tottenham Hotspur’s win over Eintracht Frankfurt last night.

Spurs picked up a vital three points last night as they beat Frankfurt 3-2 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The win put Antonio Conte’s men top of their Champions League group and it was an impressive display for the most part of the game.

Son and Harry Kane started to click once again last night and linked up in devastating fashion.

Kane set-up the South Korean for Spurs’ equaliser in the first-half and then tucked away his penalty to give them the lead. But it was Son’s second goal of the evening that really impressed Jenas on BT Sport. 

Jenas blown away by Son

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg drove down the right-hand side and clipped a ball towards the back post.

Son showed brilliant technique on his so-called weaker foot to smash the ball home on the volley. And Jenas was full of praise for the Spurs winger last night.

“Wow, just wow. Talk about technique from that man [Son] right there,” Jenas said on BT Sport.

“He may have had an indifferent start to the season, but he’s still world-class. And it’s moments like this that show you that.

“Hojbjerg does brilliantly and backs up the play. Does exactly what you want, lifts it to the back stick. But that [Son’s goal] is special, it really is. He watches it all the way on to his toe.

“Look at this, the technique, the way he drops his shoulder down. You don’t stop those. That is sensational from Heung-Min Son.”

Son has struggled with form this season and had even endured a difficult week after he bagged a hat-trick against Leicester City.

But Jenas thinks the 30-year-old was back to his best last night as he caused the Frankfurt defence problems all evening.

“It’s great to see Son in this kind of form,” Jenas said.

“There’s been so many games this year where you feel sorry for him because you know the ability he has.

“But he’s got a freedom about him tonight, he’s got a flair, he’s got a bit of swagger about him. He’s out there enjoying himself.”

Spurs made hard-work of the game in the end last night, even after Frankfurt were reduced to 10-men while they were 3-1 up.

But Conte will be delighted to have picked up three points and see his side starting to get back to their best in terms of attacking play.
