A number of Tottenham stars flattered to deceive in their 1-1 draw with Fulham.

Pedro Porro was criticised by Spurs fans for his disappointing display, meanwhile, Heung-min Son was labelled ‘off the pace’ by some supporters.

Son in particular struggled against Fulham, failing to make any sort of impact in the striker role as he filled for the ill Dominic Solanke.

Ange Postecoglou has since honed in on the South Korean’s performance, insisting the Spurs skipper will bounce back and get back to his best.

Ange Postecoglou speaks on Heung-min Son’s struggles

With Solanke absent from the Spurs matchday squad, Son was tasked with leading the Tottenham frontline – a task the 32-year-old really struggled with.

The Spurs skipper was kept quiet by the Fulham defence for most of the afternoon, with Son scuffing his only chance of the game early on.

Postecoglou was questioned about Son’s goalscoring struggles in his post-match press conference, with Spurs manager insisting ‘the goals will flow’ for the South Korean.

“You could say that about a number of our players. The key to it is to stay focused and Sonny will. It’s not like he dwells on these things.

“That’s what the best goalscorers do they don’t dwell on it for too long and I don’t sense in him that he is worried about it because you know he has proven himself for year after year at this level.

“We have had different players go through those spells at different times. The key for it is to maintain focus and not dwell too much on what has happened before. I’m sure the goals will flow again for Sonny soon,” as per Football.London.

Heung-min Son’s stats against Fulham

Whether it be creating chances or finishing them, Son failed to do both against the Cottagers.

The likes of Issa Diop and Calvin Bassey marshalled the Spurs skipper well, preventing him from making any meaningful impact.

The South Korean was utilised a lot in the striker position last season, enjoying a lot of success in that role scoring 17 Premier League goals in the process.

However, with Solanke likely to return against Bournemouth, it will be very surprising to see Son play in the striker role moving forward for Spurs.
