Son Heung-min helped Tottenham gain some respite from their Premier League woes on Thursday with a double in a 3-2 Europa League win at Hoffenheim to put them on course for the knockout rounds. Goals from Son and James Maddison lifted Spurs up to provisional fourth in the revamped league phase of European club football's second-tier competition ahead of the night's later games. It also lifted some of the heat off manager Ange Postecoglou with his injury-ravaged team arriving in Germany after losing seven of their last Premier League games.
