Spurs international watch: Big win for skipper's side

Son Heung-min continues his fine start to the season with a goal and an assist as South Korea thrash Cameroon

Tottenham forward Son Heung-min continued his impressive start to the season with a goal and an assist as South Korea thrashed Cameroon 6-1 in a friendly match on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old, who has scored five goals in seven Premier League games for Spurs this season, opened the scoring for his country in the 30th minute with a clinical finish from inside the area.

Son then turned provider for Hwang Ui-jo's goal just before half-time, before being substituted at the interval.

South Korea went on to score four more goals in the second half, with Hwang Hee-chan, Jeong Woo-yeong and Kwon Chang-hoon all getting on the scoresheet.

The win was a timely boost for South Korea, who are preparing for the World Cup in Qatar later this year.

Other Spurs players in international action

In other international action, Tottenham defender Cristian Romero played the full 90 minutes as Argentina beat Honduras 3-0 in a friendly match.

Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur also played the full game as Uruguay beat Panama 5-0 in a friendly.

However, there was disappointment for Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who was forced to withdraw from the France squad with a thigh injury.

Lloris is expected to be out for around two weeks, which means he could miss Tottenham's Premier League match against Manchester United on October 19.
