Son Heung-min will go down as the match-winner this evening after his goal secured Tottenham a much-needed 2-1 victory over Norwich City.
But Giovani Lo Celso was undoubtedly man of the match in his best Spurs performance to date, playing an important role in both of the goals.
The Argentine showed his industry for the first goal to help set up Dele Alli, and his creativity for the second with this lovely through-ball for the same man.

From there we needed a couple of lucky bounces to tee up Son for a back-post tap-in – his first goal since December 7th after a spell out suspended.
For the first time tonight, Lo Celso looked like the complete midfielder.
We? Who’s ‘we’? You mean Levy messed it up…
He has got some class about him.
Still got a good haircut though!
Thoughts on continuing playing Verts -slow, often caught out of position and contract due to run out. Tanganga and Sanchez have to play to develop an understanding imo. Sess not ready yet.
People too quick to write players off. I remember one of the favourite put downs on this blog was that Jack Grealish was just a haircut. I always rated him, but we messed up the transfer.
I don’t think so, we have the bones of a good side, with the big holes filled this could all come together quicker than people think.
They both look busy, which makes a change of late!
Question; is Jose out of his depth just like he was at Utd?
I think this Gedson lad will be good too.
When he was barely used under both managers before he got fit people were writing him off. He’s always looked like he had something from the off…
We just need a few more like Lo Celso.
He was excellent tonight, we scraped home in the end but a win is a win , take it.
Well done Gio and Sonny.
Hard luck Norwich, you deserved something that…
