Tottenham fans react on Twitter to Son display v Middlesbrough

Son Heung-min played 81 minutes in Tottenham’s 1-0 victory over Middlesbrough on Saturday evening – and Spurs fans were undecided on his display.

The South Korea international was a constant threat with his skill and pace and the Boro defence simply were not able to cope with him.

The 24-year-old did not trouble the score sheet with Harry Kane scoring from the spot, but it was Son who was fouled to win the penalty.

A large number of Spurs fans on social media were keen to comment on his positive display and many were eager to point out that he was behind a lot of Tottenham’s attacks.

However, some did feel he was often too quick to go for glory himself instead of finding a teammate.

Here are a selection of their messages on Twitter:

Son so frustrating. Does loads right then either needs too long or makes the wrong decision. RB cant handle him. #THFC #COYS

Son is playing well but needs to calm down those left footed shots, needs to cut inside or look for an opening! #COYS #THFC
