Erik Lamela scored an early goal but Spurs worked hard for their Europa League qualification against Shkendija

Son Heung-min and Harry Kane once again stepped up their efforts when needed to avoid trouble at Tottenham in a 3-1 Europa League third round qualifying win over Shkendija

Son and Kane starred in the 5-2 win over Southampton on Sunday, with Son scoring four and Kane scoring four assists and one goal, and they both scored again in the final 20 minutes in North Macedonia as Spurs progressed to a game -off against Maccabi Haifa next week

Erik Lamela had them in mind from the start but a nice strike from Valmir Nafiu in the second half threatened to make the night a nervous night for Jose Mourinho’s men

Mourinho called Kane, who started the game on the bench, but it was Son who restored the lead in the 70th minute before the England captain settled the game nine minutes later

It wasn’t pretty for Spurs, but they got the job and will face the Israeli side in a one-off at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next Thursday for the chance to advance to the group stage

Having needed two goals in the last 10 minutes to beat Lokomotiv Plovdiv in last week’s second qualifying round, Mourinho’s men will have been happy with the start as they took the lead in the fourth minute

Lamela was left in acres of backpost space and Son chose him perfectly, with the Argentinian returning home with his right foot

It could have been the launching pad for a much easier night out, but despite controlling the game, they struggled to create too many chances

A beautiful evening for Tanguy Ndombele A first 90 minutes since December 28, was everywhere on the pitch and showed moments of creativity on the ball Another step in the right direction #THFC #COYS

Dele Alli, who was playing after being ruled out the last two games, had the best of them before half-time as Spurs moved up to the right and Serge Aurier pulled out for the England international, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Kostadin Zahov

The inability to put the game to bed in those first 45 minutes quickly bit Spurs as Shkendija knocked them out with a leveler in the 55th minute

Ben Davies gave the ball away and it ended up at the feet of Nafiu, who threw an unstoppable shot past Joe Hart and into the top corner

Mourinho immediately called Kane to try to save the day and the odds started to roll for the visitors

Lamela missed a free header as it looked easier to score, then Kane unusually missed another header chance

Tanguy Ndombele and Giovani Lo Celso combined well to throw Lucas Moura, whose shot was stopped by Zahov, with Son converting the rebound

Nine minutes later, Kane killed the match and Son began repaying favors from Sunday, where Kane had scored all four of his goals.

The South Korean whipped up an inviting cross from the left, that Kane didn’t need a second invite to return home as Spurs got the job done
