Son’s Brace Humbles Huddersfield
Son Heung-min said Wembley felt like “home” after his two goals earned Tottenham a comfortable win over Huddersfield at Wembley.
Spurs are playing their home games at the national stadium this season while construction work on their new stadium takes place.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side failed to win the first three league games at Wembley, while they were beaten there by West Ham to go out of the Carabao Cup.
However, they have won their past seven games at the venue and head into Wednesday’s Champions League last-16 second leg with Juventus unbeaten in 17 matches home and away in all competitions – their longest unbeaten run since 1967.
Spurs are a point behind third-placed Manchester United, who play at Crystal Palace on Monday, and two behind Liverpool, who moved into second with a 2-0 home win over Newcastle.

“We feel comfortable at Wembley, we know how we play here,” said Son after his ninth and 10th Premier League goals of the season.
“Of course it was going to take time but now we feel like we’re at home. We enjoy playing here and we try to get three points from every match.”
Jonas Lossl had already denied Harry Kane when Son rounded the Huddersfield keeper to score after Dele Alli’s excellent pass sliced open the visitors’ defence.
Spurs were denied a penalty by stand-in referee Kevin Friend after Son was grabbed around the waist by defender Terence Kongolo.
Huddersfield substitute Tom Ince forced Hugo Lloris into a fine save before Son’s header, after a sumptuous cross by Kane, secured Pochettino his 100th Premier League win as a manager in 197 games.
