The Spurs ace, who scored against Borussia Dortmund in their 3-0 win, is up for Goal of the Week.

Heung-min Son of Tottenham scores the first goal during the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 First Leg match between Tottenham Hotspur and Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium on February...

Just a week after Tottenham Hotspur ace Jan Vertonghen was nominated for – and subsequently won – the Champions League Player of the Week award for his display in the 3-0 win over Borussia Dortmund comes yet another opportunity of an accolade from one of the heroes from that night.

The man in question is Son Heung-min, who broke the deadlock in the 47th minute of the last-16 first leg at Wembley, connecting with Vertonghen’s cross to rifle in a sumptuous volley beyond the reach of the helpless Roman Burki.

From then on Spurs went from strength to strength as Vertonghen added a second and Fernando Llorente completed the rout late on for a magical European night in front of the Lilywhites faithful and, most importantly, a big advantage in terms of making the quarter-finals.

Tottenham’s Twitter account proudly announced Son as being in the running for the Champions League Goal of the Week for his volley against Dortmund, sharing the video of the goal and a link on how to vote:

Here is how some Spurs fans reacted to the nomination on the social media platform:
