Monday’s cover: Tricks and treats from Tottenham



Son Heung-Min scored three of Tottenham's six goals against Millwall on Sunday to help the club advance to the FA Cup semi-final, and the South Korean star takes the Sport cover for the Monday, March 13, 2017 edition of The National.

Son’s hat-trick heroics helped to gloss over an early injury scare to star striker Harry Kane, though Spurs showed no signs of struggle against the League One side.

Greg Lea has the report from White Hart Lane, where Tottenham have been "utterly dominant":

“They are unbeaten this season at the ground they have called home for the last 118 years, with victory secured in 16 of 18 fixtures across all competitions.

“It has been a different story at Wembley, where Tottenham have held their home games in the Uefa Champions League and Europa League due to the construction of a new 61,000-capacity arena on the same site as White Hart Lane. Pochettino’s charges won only one of four encounters at their adopted home this term, which contributed to their early exits from both continental tournaments.

“April’s semi-final will provide Tottenham with an excellent opportunity to improve upon that record ahead of their probable move to Wembley for the entirety of next season as the development project gathers pace.”

In Premier League action on Sunday, Liverpool managed a 2-1 victory at Anfield. Richard Jolly has the report.

Ziina users can donate to relief efforts in Beirut

Ziina users will be able to use the app to help relief efforts in Beirut, which has been left reeling after an August blast caused an estimated $15 billion in damage and left thousands homeless. Ziina has partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees to raise money for the Lebanese capital, co-founder Faisal Toukan says. “As of October 1, the UNHCR has the first certified badge on Ziina and is automatically part of user's top friends' list during this campaign. Users can now donate any amount to the Beirut relief with two clicks. The money raised will go towards rebuilding houses for the families that were impacted by the explosion.”
