Tottenham recorded a 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest earlier today to ease some of the pressure on Antonio Conte and boost their Champions League qualification hopes.
Spurs picked up all three points thanks to a double from Harry Kane and a goal from Heung-min Son, with the Premier League clash in N17 also seeing Serge Aurier make a return to Tottenham.
During the game, Son was seen welcoming the Ivory Coast international back to north London in what was a playful moment.
What’s the story?
Well, the 30-year-old and Son got on very well together while the Nottingham Forest No.24 was playing for Tottenham.
Their friendly relationship was there for all to see in the 22nd minute as the South Korea international playfully bonked the ball off Aurier’s head as he prepared to take a throw-in.
It was a funny moment, although the Ivorian didn’t really react – he was probably a bit frustrated, as Nottingham Forest were 1-0 down at the time.
Things got even worse for Aurier as Son then nudged the ball beyond him to put Tottenham three goals ahead in the 62nd minute.

It saw the Tottenham No.7 end his four-game goal drought and net his tenth strike in 36 appearances across all competitions.
Tottenham looked much sharper against Nottingham Forest
After a, quite frankly, pathetic display against AC Milan on Wednesday in a game they needed to win, Tottenham reacted well in their 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest.
In our view, the introductions of Pedro Porro and Richarlison into the starting XI made a huge difference, and ensured Conte’s side were more fluid in attack.
Of course, Nottingham Forest aren’t exactly comparable to AC Milan, but it was still an encouraging reaction after crashing out of the Champions League.
Hopefully – despite plenty of uncertainty surrounding the Italian’s future – this is the start of a turnaround for Spurs.
