Son Heung-Min scored twice as Tottenham strolled to a comfortable 4-0 Champions League win against Red Star Belgrade tonight.
The South Korea international's two goals were sandwiched between strikes from Giovani Lo Celso and substitute Christian Eriksen, as Mauricio Pochettino's side recorded a welcome win that goes a long way to assuring their qualification from Group B.
Although Spurs now look strong favourites to bag second place in the group, Bayern Munich have already sealed pole position after their routine 2-0 win over Olympiakos - Robert Lewandowski and Ivan Perisic scoring for the manager-less Bundesliga giants.
These two tonight. 👌#UCL ⚪️ #COYS pic.twitter.com/DnpQjwd2QH

All the other action...
The biggest Champions League scorers of the night were Real Madrid - who hit Galatasaray for six at the Bernebeu: young Brazilian Rodrygo bagging a hat-trick for the Spaniards in a 6-0 win in Group A. In the other game in the group, PSG guaranteed top spot with a 1-0 victory over Club Bruges, Mauro Icardi netting the matchwinner for the French champions.
In their early kick-off, Juventus ground out a 2-1 win over Lokomotiv - with Aaron Ramsay scoring his first goal in Europe for The Old Lady - in Group D. The other game in the group saw Atletico Madrid slip up, a late consolation from former Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata not enough to prevent Diego Simeone's men losing 2-1 to Bayer Leverkusen.
The other Premier League team in action tonight, Manchester City, played out a 1-1 draw with Atalanta that saw Pep Guardiola's charges finish the game with Kyle Walker in goal!
