Son Heung-min scores Tottenham's first goal at their new £1bn stadium as Mauricio Pochettino's side climb to third with victory over Crystal Palace.

Tottenham celebrated the official opening of their magnificent new stadium with a crucial victory over Crystal Palace to cement their place in the Premier League's top four.

South Korean Son Heung-min will take his place in history as the first player to score a Premier League goal here when his shot from the edge of the area deflected in off Luka Milivojevic after 55 minutes. This magnificent sweeping stadium is a spectacular arena that proved well worth that 689-day wait. It ranks alongside any in the world.

The motto for the occasion was 'Welcome Home' and one English tradition, the weather, obliged as the stadium was hit by a dramatic hail and snow storm an hour before kick-off. As the teams lined up, award-winning tenor and Spurs' fan Wynne Evans and former Gladesmore student Lanya Matthews delivered a rousing rendition of"Glory, Glory Tottenham Hotspur" before a spectacular firework display whipped around the roof of the stadium.
