Son was immediately tended to by the Tottenham physios who appeared concerned.
However, after the match he issued a positive update.
Speaking to The Mirror’s Ryan Taylor in the mixed zone, he revealed: “No, I’m okay. I’m okay. Let’s see.”
Son also accused his team of being too “soft” in the second half, stating: “Losing that game is unacceptable.
“We have got the lead five times in a row now. West Ham are always tough to play against but we were soft.
“In the Premier League, you don’t know what will happen in the end. You have to kill a game. It’s unacceptable. Players have to take responsibility – the fans don’t deserve this.
“You have to play with more energy, especially at home. Whether we deserve it or not, we have to move on and bounce back. It’s disappointing for the fans.”
Tottenham took an early lead against the Hammers when Cristian Romero‘s headed effort looped into the top corner.
