EPL: Mourinho embarrassed me in front of other players. Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min, Tottenham's captain, has described how Jose Mourinho embarrassed him in front of other players, leaving him "so upset".

Since 2015, Son has appeared in 408 games for the north London club, scoring 162.

During Mourinho's time at Tottenham, the South Korean was a talismanic figure.

In an interview with EAFC, Son stated: "Mourinho once told me off during a game. [He stated] 'I don't think you want to be in a game with a side like Burnley or Stoke (tough game)' in front of all the players, and I was really outraged because I'm not even an 18-19-year-old to be treated that way.

"Later after the match, the coach emailed me, 'I know you understand that it wasn't my aim to target and harm you. But I need to make sure that other players aren't being lazy, and I'm going to show them by telling out the team's greatest player, which is you. And, after reading the book, I feel good.”
