Tottenham Hotspur saw their fine run at the beginning of the season brought to a halt prior to the international break, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side suffered a defeat at the hands of Watford.
A stern test awaits this weekend against title-hopefuls Liverpool but Spurs have welcomed a key player back to their ranks, with Son Heung-Min returning from an extended international spell on duty for South Korea.
The 26-year-old played in six matches of his nation’s Asian Games campaign, where he won a gold medal and was subsequently spared compulsory military service with South Korea – which could have derailed his spell in the Premier League.

Fortunately, though, Son’s success means he can fully focus on his football and he returns to Spurs ahead of this weekend’s crunch tie against Jurgen Klopp’s side. While it is not clear whether he will feature, fans expressed their delight on his return on social media.
We have gathered some of the best reactions below.
