Champions League: Son Heung-min shines with double as Spurs sink Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt that bolstered their bid to reach the Champions League last 16. Conte's side fell behind to Daichi Kamada's early strike at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday. But Son equalised with a composed finish and Harry Kane converted a penalty as the England captain bagged his first Champions League goal this season.

Son's blistering volley put Tottenham in complete control towards the end of a vibrant first-half display. Finally back to his best after a slow start to the season, Son was a constant menace to Frankfurt, whose defender Tuta was sent off in the second half for two fouls on the 30-year-old. Frankfurt's Faride Alidou reduced the deficit in the closing stages and Kane missed a late penalty, but Tottenham held on, much to Conte's relief.

"We started in a very difficult way, conceding the first goal. We suffered and had to try to handle the situation," Conte said. "We scored good goals.

We work a lot during the week to try to have good combination between our strikers. Today they showed great link-up." With two matches remaining against Sporting Lisbon and Marseille, Tottenham are top of Group D on seven points after their second win in this season's tournament. They hold a one-point lead over both second-placed Marseille and third-placed Sporting.

"We are leading our group. We have to try to beat Sporting and go to the next round," Conte said. "Until the end we have to stay focused.
