VIDEO: Mourinho pleased Lloris, Son showed fighting spirit. DUGOUT

Jose Mourinho has given his thoughts on the half-time incident between Tottenham captain Hugo Lloris and Son Heung-min after the pair were involved in a heated exchange during the team's 1-0 win over Everton in the Premier League.

As Son walked towards the players' tunnel at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, France goalkeeper Lloris confronted the South Korea star, shouting at him and shoving his shoulder.

The usually placid Son responded angrily and the pair had to be kept apart by team-mates Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko as the altercation threatened to boil over. It seemed Tottenham captain Lloris was irked by Son's failure to close down a loose ball in midfield moments before Everton threatened through Richarlison.

Neither of the feuding players was hauled off at the break as Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho tried to keep the peace. Son and Lloris looked to have buried the hatchet when they hugged at the final whistle after Tottenham secured their second win since the coronavirus hiatus.
