Tottenham still after the title, Son Heung-min warns Liverpool and Man City

His Heung-min, the hero of Tottenham, got rid of his Superman cape to insist that the title was not a two-horse race, warning: "We're going there again."

Just three days after returning from the Asian Cup with South Korea, Son eliminated the sadness of two cups in less than 72 hours and major injuries inspired Wednesday's 2-1 victory over Watford. And as the first two lost points in the middle of the week, the Spurs learned to smile again in the absence of the padded pillars Harry Kane and Dele Alli.

Despite their spate of Premier League temporary home appearances at Wembley – just 29,164 on an icy night – two goals scored in the last 10 minutes have narrowed Liverpool's lead to seven points; Man City only has two points in advance.

His son said, "I do not care if people ignore Tottenham. Little does anyone say that Liverpool or Manchester City will win the title. We are still here, we are going there and we will see what will happen at the end of the season.

"Maybe I'm boring, because I always answer the same way – of course, these are two very good sides, like us. But we can only focus on ourselves, and in every game, winning the most points is the most important thing.

"The season has a long way to go and a lot of things can happen. You can not even imagine what will happen: we simply believe in our own game and we want to earn as many points as possible. "

At the final whistle, Son seemed upset after playing a vital role, including his equalizer, at the end of the match to beat Watford. The manager, Mauricio Pochettino, admitted that he had no intention of playing his Asian star for 90 minutes.

But in a telling snapshot of his mentality, the 26-year-old striker said, "I feel like that all the time, after every game, because I'm always trying to do my best and that I give everything.

"I am only human and I can not play my best all the time, but my attitude is always to give the best of myself to the team. If sometimes it does not work, I try. This is the first thing to do in every game. "

His son watched all Spurs games while on an international mission in Dubai and admitted that it was painful to watch Mauricio Pochettino's fight.

He said: "When you leave, and that the team comes out in a [Carabao Cup] In the semi-finals and then in the FA Cup, of course, it hurts. It hurts like you can not even imagine.

"So it was very important to win again, we showed good character."
