Son Heung-Min, the Spurs legend who has left a lasting impact on Tottenham Hotspur's history, made his highly anticipated return to the club before kick-off of their Champions League game against Slavia Prague. As he took the field, it was like he never left - with a familiar swagger and an unmistakable smile.
Spurs fans, many of whom had been critical of manager Thomas Frank's tactics and decisions, were treated to an emotional spectacle as Son addressed them before kick-off, receiving a standing ovation for his return. It was almost as if Spurs were fated to deliver in the presence of one of their modern greats.
The match itself was a convincing 3-0 win against Slavia Prague, with Xavi Simons scoring two goals and Mohammed Kudus providing significant competition for Harry Kane up front. The victory marked a vital step forward for Frank, who has struggled to convince Spurs fans that he's the right man for the job.
This win will be seen as a vital lifeline in Frank's bid to turn Tottenham Hotspur around. As with any high-risk, high-stakes strategy, results are crucial - and Spurs have delivered. The fact that this is the third win on the spin, following victories against Newcastle United and Brentford, should give Frank's fans hope.
For Son, who played a key role in Spurs' Champions League Final run in 2019 and won their first trophy for 17 years as captain of the Europa League-winning team last season, it was his trademark smile that seemed to have been surgically removed at the final whistle. But he will be back to that again soon enough.
The perfect return for a Spurs legend. A statement from Son Heung-Min and Thomas Frank that this team is finally on the road to recovery, under the guidance of the right manager and with the involvement of one of their all-time greats. Now it's up to Frank to keep this momentum going, and show his fans what he can truly do.

I'm so glad Son Heung-Min is back at Spurs! It was such an emotional moment watching him take the field again 
. The team really needed that boost of confidence, especially after some tough losses. Now, with their third win on the spin, it's clear that they're finally starting to gel under Thomas Frank 
. Xavi Simons and Mohammed Kudus were total game-changers up front, and Harry Kane is loving the competition 
. For Son, it was a perfect return - all that swagger and smile back in an instant 
. Let's hope Frank can keep this momentum going and turn Spurs into a top-tier team again 
️
.
. Now that they've got their star player back, I think Frank's future as manager is looking pretty bright 
. This win was huge and shows that Frank has the goods to make a real impact 
. It'll be interesting to see how he builds on this momentum, but for now, let's just enjoy the Spurs resurgence! 
son heung-min's return was like a dream come true! i remember watching him play when i was like 12 and he was just a young kid but now he's back and better than ever 
. i'm so glad spurs fans got to see that smile again, it's contagious! 
. now let's see if he can keep it up! 
anyway i've been saying for ages that thomas frank needs a win or two under his belt to get the fans on board now that he's got the momentum he can't afford to drop another game, gotta keep that 3-0 run going 
! It was like nothing had changed since 2019 when he played in the Champions League Final with Spurs 
. Son's smile is back and so should Spurs' confidence! 
. Thomas Frank's tactics have been under fire, but now it seems like he's finally got something going for him 
I'm loving how Spurs are finally starting to gel under Thomas Frank's management! 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see their all-time greats back on the pitch? It's like they say - 'you can never have too much of a good thing!' 
. Three wins in a row is not something to be taken lightly 
. He's shown his team can compete with the best of them, and Son's return is just the icing on the cake 
. Now it's time for Frank to put his foot down and make some real changes 
. The question is - will he be able to do it? 
Mohammed kudus is straight fire 
this match is a total statement from son & frank that spurs r back on track!! now let's see if frank can keep it up 
. They've been in a rut for years and until they sort out their team dynamics and tactics, all these big returns and legends coming back aren't gonna make a difference 
... Frank's got some 'splainin' to do if he wants to keep Spurs fans on board 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to see their beloved legend back on the pitch? 
I COULD FEEL THE ENERGY OF THE CROWD AND SON'S SMILE WHENEVER HE PLAYED ON THE FIELD... IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG SEASON WITH THIS TEAM!
and that match against Slavia Prague? YESSSSSS! 3-0 is not bad at all!!! 
but seriously though, this win is a HUGE boost for Thomas Frank and the squad, it shows they're on the right track now! 
. Son's smile is back, and it's contagious 
. This win should be a huge confidence booster for Thomas Frank, who's been under fire from fans about his tactics.
. But we all know he's still got it in him. The fact that Spurs are on a three-game win streak is huge for Frank and his fans. It's like they're saying, "Hey, we've got this!" 
i mean, it felt like Spurs were destined 2 win this game in front of one of their all-time greats 
and TBH I'm so hyped 4 Thomas Frank now!!! 
this 3-0 win against Slavia Prague is literally a lifeline 4 him & the team 
i mean, who else can make Xavi Simons score 2 goals
