BBC pundit wowed by ‘unbelievable’ Son Heung-min among Tottenham trio, red-card admission shared

We’re delighted to welcome former Scotland right-back Alan Hutton as our exclusive columnist as each week he’ll be giving his views on the biggest talking points at The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium…

Alan Hutton has sung high praises of Son Heung-min, Pedro Porro and Destiny Udogie after their performances in the 4-1 win over Newcastle United.

Porro and Udogie essentially pulled the strings from the full-back positions with Udogie grabbing his first goal for the club while Porro managed to supply an assist for Richarlison.

Son also wowed Hutton with his display as the South Korea international assisted two goals before netting an 85th-minute penalty.

The ex-right-back did, however, admit that Cristian Romero probably should’ve been shown a red card for a foul on Callum Wilson.

“In their last five games they had four losses and a draw and then they go into a game against Newcastle and it’s a must-win,” Hutton told Tottenham News.

I thought everybody turned up. Son was unbelievable and the two full-backs (Porro and Udogie) were unbelievable.

There could have possibly been a red card in there for Cristian Romero but Richarlison came in, ran about, worked himself in the ground and this is what you need to play in an Ange Postecoglou team.

When he gets it right and everybody’s pulling in the same direction, this is the kind of performance you can have.

I know they conceded towards the end but it was four goals and a right good performance.”

Tottenham

Tottenham had been unbeaten all season in the Premier League before losing four of their five matches before playing Newcastle at the weekend.

As it stands, Spurs are fifth in the league, three points shy of fourth-placed Manchester City, who have just one win in their last five.

Next up for the Lilywhites is a trip to the East Midlands to play against Nottingham Forest at the City Ground on Friday night (15 December).
