Son's struggles continue

Tottenham captain Son Heung-Min has struggled for form for some time.

He has found the net once in his last eight matches in all competitions and provided just one assist in that time also.

The former golden boot winner has looked a shell of his former self of late and whether that's due to the number of minutes he has been forced to play or not - his dip in form couldn't have come at a worse time for an already fragile Spurs side.

The struggles continued in the defeat against Aston Villa on Sunday.

The South Korea forward missed a glorious chance at 1-0 to level the game when he fired straight at Emi Martinez from close range and away from that he struggled to have any real impact on the game.

He had just 23 touches in the game - seven of which came in his own half. Only Mikey Moore, who was replaced at half-time, had less with 18.
