Tottenham undroppable truth emerges in Marseille win as Antonio Conte handed new Son question

Conte's Tottenham undroppable

Richarlison may have been Tottenham's hero against Marseille in the Champions League on Wednesday but the game also highlighted the importance of another Spurs man. Extremely frustrating for the Lilywhites in the first half with Marseille control proceedings and then failing to test former Spurs loanee Pau Lopez in goal when they did create opportunities, they were given a helping hand minutes after the restart.

Chancel Mbemba's red card for hauling Son Heung-min down when last man did give the hosts a numerical advantage but still they struggled to find the breakthrough. However, they looked better once Dejan Kulusevski was introduced in place of Emerson Royal on the hour mark as the Swede took the game to the Ligue 1 side.
