Son Heung-min says Tottenham stars in 'no doubt' about what must change vs Arsenal

Son Heung-min has said the Tottenham players have been speaking among themselves about Sunday's North London Derby and how they need to respond after the «unacceptable» performance against Newcastle.

Arsenal have played three times since Spurs' abject display at St. James' Park with Ange Postecoglou's side having the weekend off thanks to Manchester City's participation in the FA Cup semi-finals. That means Tottenham have had 15 days in which to prepare themselves fully for the arrival of the Gunners to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this weekend.

«We're working hard. We had a massive week to prepare for this big game and we're feeling great,» said Son. «Obviously it's a game everyone is looking forward to. It's a big derby and we know what it means for the team and the club and also for the fans. So we're going to prepare well and play our style of game.

»We have to be ready. It was an unacceptable result and unacceptable performance [at Newcastle], as well from me. As a group, we're talking a lot about this game and performance and everybody knows how to step up, they've all been playing long enough in the Premier League or in a professional team.

«So they're working really hard to bounce back. It will be a really good game to bounce back and obviously the motivation will be even higher than in other games so I think we've got to just work hard until the game and do our style of play. Then there's no doubt we can bounce back.»

In Son, Spurs have a skipper who knows how to score a north London derby goal. The South Korean star netted twice at the Emirates Stadium in the 2-2 draw earlier in the season and in all has scored six goals and laid on two assists against the Gunners in the Premier League over the years.
