Tottenham fell behind within the first two minutes of the match on their home ground, but a goal from Issa Kabore shortly after the break brought the score back to level.
Son Heung Min then scored the winning goal in the final moments of regular time, marking his 160th goal for the club since his arrival in 2015.
Number 7 had an unfortunate day as he couldn’t score more goals, despite having six chances. One of his attempts hit both posts but didn’t cross the goal line.
The manager of Spurs, Ange Postecoglou, expressed his admiration for his captain’s consistent performance and the high standards he sets for the team.
“He consistently delivers,” the Australian manager stated in an interview with BBC Match of the Day. “Although he had a few good opportunities, he was unlucky with a couple of them. He has been an exceptional player for this club for a considerable period of time, and I hope he continues to do so.”
“He embodies everything you see on the field. He is truly dedicated, sets high standards, and gives his all every minute he plays. He is a true asset to himself and this club.”
