Son Heung-min reveals ANGER at last week's 6-1 drubbing by Newcastle sparked Tottenham's second-half comeback against Man United, as the Spurs star calls the display at St James' Park 'unacceptable'

Son Heung-min revealed that Tottenham's second-half comeback was fueled by anger, in part stoked by lingering feelings after Sunday's 6-1 thrashing at the hands of Eddie Howe's Newcastle.

After falling 2-0 behind in the first half after goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford, the home side were forced to pull off a sharp-elbowed fightback to contest for the points.

Pedro Porro scored ten minutes after the start of the second half, and Son's equaliser in the 79th minute ensured the spoils were shared on Thursday evening in the capital.

Interim coach Ryan Mason – who was appointed for his second spell in the role after the sacking of Cristian Stellini on Monday – said that his side's later showing was 'outstanding' and showed 'character' from the players.
