I want to get better and better - Heung-Min Son
Modest as ever after his super show against Everton, Heung-Min Son just wants to get better and better.
The South Korean star was all-but unplayable and at his waspish best in our 4-0 win against Sam Allardyce's team on Sunday.
‘Sonny’ went at Everton from the off, opened the goalscoring, set-up Harry Kane’s opener and played his part in a wonderful team move for the fourth goal.
Named Man of the Match and singled out for praise across all media, Sonny took it all in his stride as always - with that steely determination to do more and more.

Asked if he’s in the best form of his life at Spurs, Sonny replied: “I don't know...I hope it gets better than now. I just want to try. I don't want to think about it too much. I want to enjoy this moment.
“Of course, I want more, like Harry Kane. He beats every record and I want to beat every record as well. I want to try to be a top player.
“I enjoy playing for Spurs and trying to help my team-mates and show performances for the fans, without their support or my team-mates, nothing is happening.”
Sonny is already in the record books - he surpassed South Korean legend Park Ji-Sung to become the highest South Korean goalscorer in the Premier League back in November - he’s moved his tally to 26 - and is the first Asian to win the Premier League’s Player of the Month, an award he’s now won twice.

Already into double-figures this season (11 in all competitions), Sonny helped the team make history last season when he was one of three players alongside Dele Alli and Harry Kane to score 20-plus goals in the same season at the Club for the first time.
Mauricio Pochettino led the chorus of approval. “Sonny is doing fantastic, a great performance, showing great maturity. We are so pleased because he’s a very nice kid and he brings a lot of good things to the team.”
