Son Responds With Spurs Brace, Icardi Fires PSG Into UCL Knockout Phase

BELGRADE, Serbia- Son Heung-min bounced back from a traumatic weekend by scoring twice as Tottenham beat Red Star Belgrade 4-0 on Wednesday to take a huge step towards reaching the last 16 of the Champions League for a third straight year.

The South Korean was left in tears after being sent-off for a challenge that led to Everton's Andre Gomes suffering a horrific ankle break on Sunday.

His red card was rescinded with Gomes's injury largely due to an awkward landing for the Portuguese midfielder.

But Son still held his hands up apologetically after two second half strikes that secured a Spurs' first away win in all competitions since a remarkable comeback against Ajax in May that took them to last season's Champions League final.

"It was a really tough few days, but with our teammates I realised how lucky I am," Son told BT Sport.

"I still feel really sorry about this accident and this situation, but I had to focus for the team as well.

"I think this is my right answer to all the people who supported me."

Giovani Lo Celso also scored his first goal on his first start for the club and Christian Eriksen rounded off the scoring on a positive note for Mauricio Pochettino's men, who backed up their 5-0 thrashing of Red Star at home two weeks ago.

Tottenham move four points clear of Red Star in second place in Group B and will guarantee qualification with victory at home to Olympiakos on November 26.

Paris Saint-Germain were nowhere near their best but Mauro Icardi's goal and a Keylor Navas penalty save allowed the French giants to edge out Club Brugge 1-0 and secure their place in the knockout phase of the Champions League with two group matches to spare on Wednesday.

Icardi's close-range finish in the first half at the Parc des Princes was his eighth goal in PSG's last seven matches and it gave them a fourth straight win in Group A.

However, their opponents played well enough to take something from the game and would have done so had Navas not stopped Mbaye Diagne's 76th-minute spot-kick.

Despite failing to convince here -- two weeks after a 5-0 victory in Bruges -- PSG will appear in the last 16 for the eighth consecutive season, and a draw in their next game away to Real Madrid will ensure they progress as group winners.
