Heung-min Son showcased his clinical finishing, converting Kulusevksi’s pass into the net with a superb first-time shot.
And 3 minutes later, Son turned provider as he set up Timo Werner who fired home past the keeper with a brilliant first time finish.
Watch the goals below:
The win reduces the gap between the two clubs to just 2 points and if Spurs win their game in hand, they will go ahead of Villa to claim the 4th spot.
