Antonio Conte has received a significant boost to his preparations for Tottenham's return to Premier League action on Boxing Day with forward Son Heung-min set to return to training soon. Son had captained South Korea to the last-16 of the World Cup but they suffered a humbling exit at the hands of Brazil on Monday.
Tite's side hit four past South Korea in a rampant first-half performance which has further solidified the label placed on them as tournament favourites. Vinicius Jr opened the scoring after seven minutes with Neymar then marking his return from injury by doubling Brazil's lead just six minutes later, converting from the penalty spot.
Spurs star Richarlison then got his third of the tournament when he juggled the ball to himself before making a run beyond the South Korean defence and exquisitely finishing Thiago Silva's pass. Lucas Paqueta then added a fourth 10 minutes before the half-time whistle.
