Son Heung-min scored both goals as Tottenham moved one point behind second-placed Manchester United with a comfortable win over Huddersfield Town at Wembley.

Jonas Lossl had already denied Harry Kane when Son rounded the Huddersfield keeper to score after Dele Alli's excellent pass sliced open the visitors' defence.

Spurs were denied a penalty by stand-in referee Kevin Friend when Son was grabbed around the waist by defender Terence Kongolo.

Huddersfield substitute Tom Ince forced Hugo Lloris into a fine save before Son's header made it 2-0 after a sumptuous cross by Kane.
