Son Heung-min was the Premier League's joint top scorer last season, but has failed to find the net thus far this term after another blank in the Champions ...

“But when you don’t (score), for sure the confidence goes a bit down. For this reason, Sonny for me will never be a problem.” “For sure it can happen that in some games he can’t play from the start, like Harry (Kane) also. “We are talking about Sonny and he’s a really important player for us.

This is the first Premier League match in London since her death. They lose it in a poor position, Kane can drive at the Foxes defence but Evans just about halts his progress.
