Tottenham Hotspur: Fans drool over Son Heung-min’s goal of the season award
Son Heung-min has been given the Match of the Day Goal of the Season award for his exceptional effort against Nick Pope in a Premier League clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Ever since he arrived at White Hart Lane in 2015, Son has scored some phenomenal goals for Spurs over the years. As the speedy dribbler is best known for being a potent counter-attacking threat, it is fair to say his wonder goal during the 5-0 thrashing of Burnley is no exception to the rule.
The official Match of the Day account posted the announcement on Twitter and Tottenham fan page @LastWordOnSpurs shared the news with footage of the South Korean’s goal at home to the Clarets, a shot that put the game far beyond Sean Dyche’s men as Spurs entered the halftime break with a 3-0 lead. The 27-year-old danced through a number of opponents, including Robbie Brady and James Tarkowski, before thumping the ball past the helpless goalkeeper with a calm right-footed finish (The Guardian).
Who is the best Tottenham Hotspur player at the moment?
Son Heung-min
Harry Kane
Jose Mourinho’s side went on to comfortably dispatch Dyche’s team thanks to further efforts from Harry Kane and Moussa Sissoko, although Son’s solo strike understandably stole the show. Unsurprisingly, loads of Spurs fans drooled over the fan favourite’s award, with one supporter describing the “piece of individual genius” as “amazing,” and another adding “nice one Sonny.”
