Heung-min Son put Tottenham ahead against Leicester City. His shot across goal deflected off James Justin and maybe off Kane's foot before going into the goal.

Just over five minutes Tottenham took in going ahead against Leicester City. Thanks to a quick counter which saw Jose Mourinho's men take the lead after a bit of good fortune. 

Son made the goal. He got into the opposition area thanks to a pass from Kane, his shot was deflected off James Justin and went into the net. 

It looked like an own goal, because the ball completely changed direction and left Schmeichel wrong footed. He was not capable of setting himself again. There was doubt as to whether Kane was interfering with the keeper's view and then as to whether the ball touched Kane's foot before it went in. 

Taking the lead is always vital in an even game and that is what Mourinho's men did. Mourinho was delighted on the touchline as he knew it was vital in their fight for the Europa League.
