Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has been praised as a 'class act' after gently placing his microphone on the table after a TNT Sports interview.

The South Korea international spoke to the broadcaster after Spurs' 1-0 win over Luton that took them to the top of the Premier League table.

It looked in doubt when they went down to 10 men on the stroke of half time with the scores level, But they held on after Micky van de Ven's goal to secure an important three points.

The adoration for Son came after the match when he took immense care in placing the microphone down on the table to avoid damaging it.

'Great to see this,' commented one fan remarking on the 'respectful' gesture, while another said it showed he was a 'gentle guy.'

Even bitter rivals couldn't resist showing affection for the forward, with one Arsenal fan writing: 'Aside from rivalries I love this guy, so cool and calm.'

Rio Ferdinand agreed, saying 'What a guy' live on air as Son walked away after their interview.

It comes as part of a general feel-good respectful atmosphere brought to the North London club by new manager Ange Postecoglou, who asked his interviewers to 'enjoy the match' before the game.

The vibes have produced some excellent football as well, with Spurs unbeaten this season after six wins and two draws in the league.

They managed a gutsy draw against their North London rivals at the Emirates and beat an excellent Liverpool side, even if they were given a hand by VAR.

Spurs will next be in action after the international break when they face Fulham on Monday, October 23.
