LONDON (AFP) - Son Heung-Min saluted Tottenham's fighting spirit as they shrugged off Harry Kane's injury blow to beat Manchester City 1-0 in the first leg of their all-English Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday (April 9).
Son was Tottenham's hero as he netted a cool winner late in the second half to give his side a slender advantage to protect in next week's second leg in Manchester.
It was an impressive display of resilience from Mauricio Pochettino's men after star striker Kane limped off with his latest ankle problem early in the second half.
Hugo Lloris also deserved plaudits for saving Sergio Aguero's first half penalty, laying the foundations for Son's 78th minute strike and inspiring the South Korean to hail their togetherness.
"Not just me but as a team, we never give up for 90 minutes. We fight," Son said.
"It was a very difficult game and in the end, we were more clinical than them." Son had scored the first goal in Tottenham's new ground in their Premier League win over Crystal Palace last week.
Six days later, he was once again the toast of the 62,062 crowd.

"I like this stadium, it is amazing to play here, I am grateful for the opportunity to play at this stadium," Son said.
While Tottenham have control of the tie, Son warned that they will need another herculean effort to knock out City at the Etihad Stadium on April 17.
"It will be very tough, but we performed well, we fight well," he said.
"We should just enjoy like we did today and fight altogether."
