Son leads Tottenham's attack against Ajax
Son Heung-min starts for Tottenham Hotspur in Wednesday's Champions League semifinal second leg against Ajax in one of two changes made by coach Mauricio Pochettino to the team beaten 1-0 in last week's first meeting in London.
The Ajax story continues tonight in Amsterdam. Will Tottenham put a full stop to the Dutch sides tale? Or is this just the beginning of their best chapter yet?

The South Korean was suspended for the first leg and marked his return to the line-up in Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Bournemouth in the Premier League by being sent off.
Moussa Sissoko is the other change from the first leg, with Davinson Sanchez and Fernando Llorente the two players making way as Spurs look to reach the final of the competition for the first time.

Ajax made two changes from the first leg, with coach Erik ten Hag preferring Noussair Mazraoui at right-back to Joel Veltman.
In addition, Brazilian winger David Neres -- who had been a slight doubt before the game -- pulled out of the squad at the last minute with Kasper Dolberg taking his place in attack.
The winners will face Liverpool in the final in Madrid on June 1.
