Mourinho heaps praise on Son and Kane for doing “special things”

“I want more goals, especially more goals from other players, but today the second goal is great. It’s great because it was something we spoke about against a team that defends the way Leeds does, it’s very important to have mobility, so to have a striker on the right wing and a winger scoring on the front post is very important from a strategic point of view.”

Son and Kane have scored almost four fifths of Tottenham’s goal tally between them this season, but Mourinho enjoyed seeing a rare Toby Alderweireld strike to net Spurs’ third against Leeds, and said another of his team-mates – winger Steven Bergwijn – has the ability to add to his return too.

“We need him to score goals, we know he has the ability, if you go back one year, first match, he scored an amazing goal. We know he has the ability for that,” he said.

“He’s accumulating physical problems, I don’t know if you could understand but even in the last 10 minutes he was holding his groin, adductor, he has been having problems stopping him now and again to train properly and at high-intensity, but he gives very good things for the team. I believe goals will arrive if his condition improves.”
