Pochettino delighted with Son double

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino basked in Son Heung-min's performance after the striker's double secured a 3-1 Europa League win over Qarabag.

The Premier League side fell behind early on through Richard Almeida's seventh minute penalty, only for Son to turn the tables with his first goals for the north London club.

The South Korean netted twice in the space of three first-half minutes, before Erik Lamela wrapped up the scoring just before full-time and their Argentine coach enjoyed his new forward's display at White Hart Lane.

"It was a very good debut for him," Pochettino enthused. "He's a very nice guy and he scored, which is great.

"In the end we fully deserved the result. We have a good balance and a lot of competition and I'm happy with that.

"After we conceded it was difficult but I am pleased with the character and personality."

France international goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was in similarly buoyant mood following the victory after helping the team come from behind after the early setback.

"The most important thing is to get the three points, it was the target before the game and we did well after conceding the penalty," he said.

"We started the game too slowly and after conceding, we picked up our level and came back into the game."
