Son Heung-min cracks Harry Kane joke after Tottenham put four past Newcastle

In pictures: Tottenham v Newcastle

Son Heung-min joked that Harry Kane may be due a phone call after assuming Tottenham penalty duties from his former team-mate. Son confidently dispatched his spot-kick on Sunday afternoon as Spurs ran out convincing 4-1 winners at home to Newcastle United.

It took until the 16th game of the season for Tottenham to finally be awarded a penalty in the Premier League. Son won it, stepped up himself and fired it low and hard past Martin Dubravka to put his side four goals up.

That put the cherry on top of a superb day’s work for the South Korean, who also helped himself to a pair of assists. In a confident mood, Son cracked a joke about Kane, who joined Bayern Munich in the summer, when asked for his take on the penalty he put away.

“Shall we call Harry back?” he told Sky Sports. “I practiced all the time, even when Harry was here. And I learned a lot from him.”
