Seoul: Departing Tottenham captain Son Heung-min was in tears and his teammates threw him in the air on an emotional evening in his native South Korea on Sunday.
Spurs drew 1-1 with Newcastle in a pre-season friendly in Seoul but that was secondary to the farewell for the 33-year-old attacker.
There was also the sorry sight of James Maddison being stretchered off with what manager Thomas Frank said "was most likely a bad injury" to his knee.
In what could have been his final game for the north Londoners, Son played 65 minutes but did not score at Seoul World Cup Stadium, a day after announcing his decision to leave Tottenham this summer after a decade.
He left the pitch to a thunderous ovation from nearly 65,000 fans, hugging his teammates and even his opponents.
