Spurs ease past Slavia Prague as Son returns and Frank's side close on Champions League top eight

— Match Report

Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways in the Champions League with a comfortable 3-0 victory over Slavia Prague, lifting Thomas Frank's side into ninth in the league phase and within touching distance of the automatic top-eight places.

A David Zima own goal and second-half penalties from Mohammed Kudus and Xavi Simons settled a one-sided contest on an emotional night in N17, with former captain Son Heung-min returning to address the home crowd before kick-off for the first time since his summer move to LAFC.

Emotional welcome for a returning legend

The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was in upbeat mood from the moment Son received a rapturous reception on his first return to the club he served for a decade. The South Korean, who scored 173 goals in 454 games and made his farewell as captain in the Europa League victory against Manchester United in Bilbao, addressed the supporters who idolised him before kick-off.
