Dele Alli and Son Heung-min scored Tottenham's first league goals of 2020 in a 2-1 victory over Norwich City on Wednesday.
Match Report
Son Heung-min came to Tottenham's rescue in a 2-1 victory over bottom side Norwich City, as Jose Mourinho's men ended a four-game winless Premier League run on Wednesday.
This was no vintage performance from Spurs, who scored their first top-flight goal since December when Dele Alli turned Serge Aurier's cross into the net from close range seven minutes before half-time at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The hosts rode their luck as Norwich passed up numerous opportunities to get back on level terms, before Canaries striker Teemu Pukki equalised from the penalty spot following Ryan Sessegnon's foul on Max Aarons.
A point was the most Spurs deserved but they were up against the side with the joint-worst defensive record in the division and Son's winner arrived 11 minutes from time to move his side up to sixth, six points adrift of fourth-place Chelsea.

9' Lamela's shot stopped by Krul
Lamela catches the cross well and makes it more difficult for Krul by hitting the ball into the ground and up, where the goalkeeper makes a strong full-length save.
38' GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Norwich City (Alli)
Byram loses the ball carelessly in his own half, it's worked to Aurier down the right and with space to pick out a body in the six-yard box, he finds Alli perfectly for the England man to bury the ball from close-range.
55' Injured Winks replaced by Dier
Winks took a whack from Cantwell when attempting to block a shot and can't continue. He hobbles down the tunnel not looking in great shape, let's hope it's not too serious.
70' Penalty Goal! Tottenham 1-1 Norwich City (Pukki)
Penalty to Norwich! Aarons gets away from defender after looking inside to Cantwell and receiving a perfect return ball into the box, and he's brought down by Sessegnon.
Pukki passes it into the bottom corner, Lloris gets a hand to it but can only turn it onto his left-hand post and in.
79' GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Norwich City (Son)
Aurier looks inside to Lo Celso, he plays a lovely reverse threaded ball to Alli inside the box, and his low ball across the six-yard line takes a wicked deflection up into the air off Hanley, and drops perfectly for Son to nod in at the back stick.

Match analysis: 1. Sessengon is not ready to start a match 2. Son should play with team, most of the time he is selfish 3. Lamela should be sub instead of starting 4. We definitely need a striker 5. Ali/Lamela/Son all should stop making blind passes 6. Have patient with Jose and he will deliver.
