Tottenham Hotspur attacker Heung-min Son has had a tough time of it recently. The South Korean underwhelmed when it mattered for his country at the Olympic Games and has had to fend off rumours regarding his future at Spurs in recent weeks.

The Spurs forward was brilliant throughout as South Korea won 3-2 in their World Cup qualifier in Seoul.
