Son Heung-min has dedicated Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 victory against Brighton & Hove Albion to the club’s late fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone.

Speaking after the match, Son said that “it was really tough” to play Saturday’s Premier league game.
“Not only for me but every club member because he (Ventrone) was such a special man,” he said.
“To prepare for the game was incredibly hard but we did it for him and probably he’s up there looking down and he’ll be very proud of us. I think he was the biggest fan for us on Saturday.
