Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has been hailed as a truly ‘world class’ player by pundit Gary Neville after terrorising Newcastle United.
Tottenham finally ended their winless run, beating Newcastle United 4-1 on Sunday afternoon.

Son set up Tottenham’s opener, driving to the byline to set up Destiny Udogie from close range.
It was a similar story for Tottenham’s second goal with Son beating Kieran Trippier along the byline, allowing Richarlison to tap home.
Son then wrapped up the win, scoring from the penalty spot to put Tottenham 4-0 up before a Newcastle consolation.
The South Korean has ben outstanding as Tottenham’s striker this season but he operated in a more familiar role on Sunday.
Son started on the left flank with Richarlison through the middle, causing Newcastle no end of problems.
Pundit Gary Neville hailed Son whilst on punditry duty for Sky Sports (10/12, 5:10pm).
Neville suggested that whilst Trippier is an impressive defender, he made a ‘real mess’ of Tottenham’s second goal, failing to clear Pedro Porro’s cross-field ball.
Neville then noted that Son is ‘brilliant’ and Trippier just couldn’t handle such a ‘world class’ player.
