Heung-Min Son 'Similar' to Lionel Messi with Movement, Says Mauricio Pochettino

Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has hailed Heung-Min Son after he scored the winner for Spurs in their 1-0 win at home to Newcastle United on Wednesday.

Son struck in the 83rd minute to give the Lilywhites the win, but Pochettino was just as impressed with his movement and work rate.

Per Goal, he said:

"He works so hard, always pushing, never gives up. He tries, tries, tries. He's like this in his effort with and without the ball, he's very regular and consistent and that is most important.
