 The South Korean forward was again praised by the Spurs head coach after they beat Brentford to earn a place at the Wembley showpiece game

Jose Mourinho labelled Son Heung-min a "special player" after Tottenham reached the Carabao Cup final on Tuesday.

Moussa Sissoko and Son scored as Spurs recorded a 2-0 win over Brentford, who were reduced to 10 men after Josh Dasilva's late red card.

Only Harry Kane, with 17, has scored more goals in all competitions this season than Son's 16 among Premier League players.
