Tottenham 1 Sevilla 1: Kane and Son already firing again as Ben Davies provides injury scare in feisty pre-season draw | The Sun

THE Harry Kane-Son Heung-Min dream team was at it again – but Spurs were left frustrated in the final clash of their South Korea stay.

Tottenham’s dynamic duo broke the Premier League record last season for the most goal combinations between two players.


And their telepathic link-up continued here as local hero Son teed up Kane to break the deadlock just after the break.

Sevilla showed just why they finished fourth in LaLiga last season though by hitting back through Ivan Rakitic’s stunner.

Sub Ben Davies provided an injury scare late on as he seemed to land awkwardly when jumping for an aerial challenge and after trying to carry on, was then withdrawn.

This clash in Suwon, an hour south of the capital Seoul, had its lively moments too with Sevilla defender Gonzalo Montiel looking to have some choice words for Son at half-time.

It was sparked by an unintentional elbow from the South Korean on Montiel a few minutes earlier, which left the defender bleeding from the mouth.

A melee ensued with players from both sides pushing and shoving, ending with Cristian Romero and Richarlison acting as unlikely peace-makers.

Antonio Conte started a strong side including a front three of Richarlison, Kane and Son – plus Lucas Moura filling in at right wing-back.

It did not really click in the first period though, with the nearest to an opener coming from Spurs old-boy Erik Lamela, whose 20-yard curler struck the post.

A misplaced pass from Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg also forced Eric Dier into making a superb, last-ditch tackle to deflect Rafa Mir’s shot into the side netting.

Conte made six subs at the break, with fan favourite Dejan Kulusevski among those thrown into the action.

But it was old faithful who gave Spurs the breakthrough with Son playing through Kane, after a neat double-drag back in front of the Sevilla box.

The England captain took a wonderful first touch to get the ball out of his feet and away from the defender, before slotting home.

Julen Lopetegui’s side were by no means out of it though and after Tecatito had been denied by a joint-block from subs Japhet Tanganga and Emerson Royal, Rakitic restored parity with a blast from the edge of the area.

Then came a heart-in-mouth moment for Spurs as Davies went down seemingly clutching his ankle after jumping for a high-ball.

The stretcher was brought on but shunned, as the Welshman was initially helped off by two physios, moving slowly, only to then quickly recover and return to the field of play.

He was then subbed within a minute or so, though it was not clear as to whether it was just as a precaution or something more serious.
