SON HEUNG-MIN stunned Burnley to score an absolutely incredible goal of the season contender.
The South Korean star picked up the ball on the edge of the box and beat EIGHT Clarets players to slot home a truly brilliant goal.
Son Heung-Min beat EIGHT Burnley defenders to score a truly brilliant goal
Son, 27, picked up the ball on the edge of the box after a Burnley free-kick was cleared.
He then turned on the jets to streak past chasing defenders.
After bursting through on goal, Son was the calmest man in the stadium to coolly finish and make it 3-0 to Jose Mourinho’s side.
Fans on social media were quick to hail the brilliance of the Spurs ace.
Tottenham and England legend Gary Lineker said it would be “goal of the season.”
He wrote on Twitter: “Wow. Son has just scored one of the greatest individual goals you’re ever likely to see. Goal of the season, me thinks.”
Speaking on Soccer Saturday Matt Le Tissier said it was even better than goal of the season.
“Son has scored the goal of the season – he picks up possession about 90 yards out and he runs, and he runs, and he runs,” he said.
“He goes through the whole of the Burnley defence before showing great composure. What a goal.
“That’s the goal of the century!”
It reminded a lot of fans of George Weah’s famous goal for AC Milan against Verona back in 1996.
Adam reckons this goal tops that one: “Those of a certain age will remember George Weah’s end to end wonder goal.
“Son’s is better. Lovely stuff.”

Mourinho said after the game: “Even before the goal, my son calls him Sonaldo after Ronaldo Luis Nazario.
“The only thing that comes to my mind is the goal when I had the honour of being next to Sir Bobby Robson in 1996 when Ronaldo scored.
“From the outside I had a feeling. I remember speaking to Sir Alex [Ferguson] about Ji Sung Park. Maybe it’s a cultural thing. They’re very coachable. The kid is fantastic. I’m very happy, so happy.”
