Tottenham star Son Heung-min was amazing on Monday! He celebrated making a century of caps for his country by scoring a lovely goal – but he also acted as a peacemaker who stopped a couple of opposing players get into a fight.The reigning Premier League golden boot winner proved his class when he returned to his homeland for a couple of international friendlies.
On Monday evening, he scored a pinpoint free-kick to complete a 2-0 win over Chile early on. It was a special day for the forward as he made his 100th appearance for South Korea, some 12 years after making his maiden one.The 29-year-old wouldn’t let a joyous occasion be spoilt by the Chilean players either. Visiting defenders Paulo Diaz and Benjamín Kuscevic were seconds away from a fight on the pitch in front of 42,000 spectators at Daejeon Stadium.Tuesday, 21.00: (4.50) UAE (3.40) Australia (1.91)The two of them were insulting each other and would have probably gone over the red line had the Korean hero not intervened. Son stepped between those two and quickly defused the situation.
He’s playing and scoring goals like a man possessed for his club, he’s adored by football fans in his homeland, he completed a century of appearances, scored a fantastic goal and stopped a fight from breaking out. Son is like a superhero!
