A return to the top of the Champions League group for Tottenham Hotspur but, much more importantly, a return to form for Son Heung-min and Harry Kane. It wasn’t just that both scored twice each as Antonio Conte’s side came back from one down to beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-2, it was that they were so fluidly setting each other up again, with the manner Son let fly with the volleyed third also reflecting the release both were feeling.
It’s too soon to say this was a turning point, especially given that Kane skied a late penalty, but it was something to build on – a hugely positive moment. That was all the more important given the pressure, and all the more fitting because of the circumstances.
