Tottenham, just as they started to gain momentum, have been brought back to Earth with a stark reality check, so what does Jose Mourinho’s plan of attack look like in Son Heung-Min’s absence? 

Many supporters and neutrals have written Spurs off after hearing news of their instrumental Son’s potentially season-ending injury.
