LONDON (AP) — The prospect for Tottenham of life without Harry Kane might not be so terrifying after all. At least not while Son Heung-min is still at the club. Son netted a second-half winner as Tottenham opened the Premier League season with an impressive 1-0 home victory over defending champion Manchester City. City has spent the summer trying to buy Spurs’ talisman striker.

West Ham beat Newcastle 4-2.
