Tottenham Hotspur manager Antonio Conte has backed "angry" Son Heung-min to end his goal drought despite admitting the South Korea star has lost confidence.

Son has gone eight games without a goal since the start of this season after another disappointing performance in Tottenham's 2-0 Champions League loss at Sporting Lisbon on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old's barren run is a stark contrast to last season, when he finished as the Premier League's joint top-scorer alongside Mohamed Salah.

Conte must decide whether to keep faith with Son for Saturday's Premier League clash with struggling Leicester, who could represent ideal opponents for the forward to finally get back on track. "I think Sonny, for sure, is not happy because he's not scoring.
