Tottenham forward Heung-min Son has been named Premier League Player of the Month for the second time this season.

Heung-min Son scored five times during the month, including a brace against Watford in a 4-0 win, as Mauricio Pochettino’s side went on a six game winning run.

“It's an unbelievable feeling … I'm very thankful for the fans who voted for me,” he said.

“This is not my finish line. I want to keep working hard and win it a third time. I'm still hungry.”

Son’s second victory means Spurs players have won the prize in four of the season’s nine months, with Dele Alli and Harry Kane having claimed it in January and February.

Tottenham boss Pochettino also claimed the Manager of the Month prize.
