JOSE MOURINHO interrupted Son Heung-min’s post-match interview to say Harry Kane should have been awarded Man of the Match.
It was despite South Korean’s four goals in Spurs’ 5-2 win against Southampton.
Jose Mourinho interrupted Son Heung-min’s interview to say Harry Kane should have been awarded Man of the Match
Son was officially named Man of The Match but his manager felt it should have gone to Kane, who also scored and set Son up all of his goals.
Mourinho walked into a BBC interview, and asked: “Man of the Match – Harry Kane?”
Son replied: “Yes, I would say that.
“I will say that Harry is the Man of the Match because he scored one goal, he gave four assists.
“With Harry we were working together so long, this is the sixth season.
“We know each other, we want to have a good relationship on the pitch and even off the pitch.
“I think we work really, really hard to have a better relationship, even better than now.
“So obviously it’s not perfect, but we’re going to have a perfect relationship.”
Kane, who scored one, set up all four of Son’s goals
The pair can now look forward to lining up alongside Gareth Bale, who has re-joined Tottenham.
Seven years after leaving for the Spanish capital, Bale has returned on a season long loan from Real Madrid.
And he is already relishing linking up with Kane and Son.
Bale told BT Sport: “Harry’s done incredibly well since he burst onto the scene and scored a lot of goals.
“To play with him and Son is an exciting prospect for all of us. We all want to chip in to help each other but our main goal will be to do as much as we can for the team.
“If we’re all pushing in the same direction it could be a very exciting season.”
