Son Heung-min out to win Europa League if Tottenham qualify

Spurs continued their fine form by blowing away Leicester on Sunday.

Son Heung-min is the latest person from the Tottenham camp to state their intention to win the Europa League next season if they get there.

Spurs took a huge step towards qualification for Europe's second-tier event with a 3-0 win over Leicester on Sunday and they now look a good bet to finish the job with only one game left.

Boss Jose Mourinho has already been publicly vocal about wanting to have a crack at it next season and now Son has backed his manager up.

"This is how the season goes," Son added. "The player work really hard over the whole year and it's also important to re-set again.

"Sometimes we always want to play and of course we want to finish well. We have to accept (the season is ending) and try to finish strongly."

Leicester had 24 shots on goal against Spurs but were vulnerable on the counter-attack, with all three goals they conceded coming by that method.

Mourinho said after the game that the Foxes struggled with playing a back five, but boss Brendan Rodgers disputed it.

"No, not at all. We've played it throughout the season," he said.

"Of course, there's more work needed on it, but it worked well against Sheffield United, and it's worked well in other games. So no, I didn't feel that was right.

"We played well in the game, we created opportunities. Our attitude in the game was good.

"We're just disappointed with a few of the bits on the counter-attack. That might just have been the intensity of what we put into Thursday's game. I felt we were a bit leggy for parts of that game.

"Attitude-wise the players gave everything. We're missing players, but that's going to happen."
