(Reuters) - Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino has backed striker Son Heung-min to step up in the absence of Premier League joint-top scorer Harry Kane, who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
Kane left the field just 10 minutes into a 6-0 FA Cup thrashing of Millwall on Sunday, but a hat-trick from Son and goals from midfielder Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and striker Vincent Janssen ensured Spurs' progress to the semi-finals.
