Sixteen shots in six games without a goal and more than 100 days since he scored in top flight, but Antonio Conte stands by his favourite Son

Amid the giddiness of another Tottenham win came another goalless outing for Golden Boot winner Son Heung-min.

16 shots in six games without reward for Son, frustrated by the woodwork, a VAR offside call and the excellence of goalkeeper Bernd Leno on a day when Manchester City’s Erling Haaland was scoring his 10th of the season.

More than 100 days have now passed since he found the net in the Premier League but Antonio Conte is not prepared to consider the drought a serious problem.

Instead, the Spurs boss revealed how Son had suffered rotten luck in training due to the brilliance of back-up keeper Fraser Forster.
