The forward’s goal against Chelsea helped Spurs to a 3-1 win and some of the north London club’s fans voiced their opinions on his accolade on Twitter.
Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min has won the Premier League Goal of the Month award for November.
The South Korea international broke his duck for the season in style with his superb solo strike in Spurs’ 3-1 win over Chelsea at Wembley on 24 November.
Son had returned to action for Tottenham after the domestic campaign had begun as he helped his country win the Asian Cup, a trophy that also saw him become exempt from national military service.
With Spurs leading their London rivals 2-0 as the clock ticked towards the hour mark, the 26-year-old latched on to Dele Alli’s delivery from deep and marauded forward, outpacing Jorginho.
Son then cut into the Blues area, getting the better of David Luiz and slotting beyond the reach of goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga and into the far corner of the net for a goal which all but killed off the visitors.
In addition to giving Tottenham a cushion which allowed them not to get anxious about Olivier Giroud’s 85th-minute contribution for Chelsea, the goal was also Son’s 50th in the Lilywhites strip.
