Heung-Min Son insists he is settling into the Premier League after scoring the winner in Tottenham's 1-0 win over Crystal Palace.

Son scored twice in the midweek 3-1 Europa League win over Qarabag, and netted with 22 minutes remaining to hand Tottenham their first home league win this season.

Signed for £18m from Bayer Leverkusen last month, the South Korean says the style is different to the Bundesliga, but is adapting to the pace and physicality well.

He told Sky Sports: "I'm very happy because we won our first home game. I scored my first Premier League goal and I'm really happy.

"It's amazing, a really different style to the Bundesliga. Lots of power and speed. I like this and I'm happy to play here."

Hugo Lloris, who made several fine saves to keep Palace out, also praised Son, and said the 23-year-old can take Spurs forward.
