#3 Son steps up

The attacker stepped up when it mattered most

The most important part of the match was the goal scored by Son. He kept running throughout the match and pounced on a ball that looked to be running out of play. He has already scored 18 goals this season playing 13 games less than last term.

His role is more important in the team now as Harry Kane is not in the best of forms and Son has taken up the responsibility to score important goals. Kane went straight down the tunnel after a clash with Delph. And it will be interesting to see if Son repeats the performance at the Etihad.

Son has an ability to score goals from the most unbelievable positions and his work rate is comparable to what Park Ji Sung offered at United some years back. Pochettino has got the best out of Son and it will be interesting to see if he is able to motivate the team for a one major push at the end of the season.
