Kane salutes Son for ‘one of the best partnerships’ in Premier League history

Harry Kane paid tribute to his former Tottenham team-mate Son Heung-min following Bayern Munich’s 4-0 rout over Spurs on Thursday.

Kane broke the deadlock in the 12th minute at the Allianz Arena before missing a penalty, though three second-half goals from Kingsley Coman, Lennart Karl, and Jonah Kusi-Asare saw Bayern claim a comfortable victory.

Spurs were without former captain Son for the first time following the South Korea international’s move to Los Angeles for an MLS record fee of £20m.

Son announced his decision to leave Tottenham last Saturday in a press conference in Seoul ahead of their pre-season friendly against Newcastle United, where he was given a guard of honour in front of his home fans.

The 33-year-old joined Spurs in 2015 and enjoyed a successful decade-long tenure where he managed 173 goals and 101 assists in all competitions, including 127 goals and 27 assists in 333 matches in the Premier League.

He also captained Spurs to their first trophy in 17 years last season, defeating Manchester United in the Europa League final in May.
