Son Heung-min has been at the centre of a lot of Tottenham‘s best moments since joining from Bayer Leverkusen, but he’s at his best when taking absolutely no mercy on opponents.
The South Korea international has scored 75 goals in all competitions for Spurs, as well as providing 22 assists in the Premier League alone.
That’s nothing, though, in comparison to the number of times he has well and truly embarrassed those attempting to stop him in his tracks.
Doing this during a 5-0 win is just disrespectful
Wait for it… wait for it… wait for it… seeya!
Why humiliate one player when you can easily double or even triple up?
The ol’ stop and go. You can’t beat the classics.
It’s the hope that kills you, and Son knows how to dangle just enough belief that you might dispossess him. You never can, and you never learn.
Just stay calm, Jason. Don’t do anything to embarrass yourself, and for the love of god stay on your f… oh no.
It takes a special player to know he’s beaten, give up, turn around and then still get beaten.
When you’ve got a defender physically clinging to you in an effort to keep his balance, you know you’ve done a pretty good job.
Oh, mate.
Lewis Dunk thinks he has this under control at every single moment of the move. Lewis Dunk is wrong.
He even tricks you here, making you think you know who the victim will be and then – bam! – it’s someone who wasn’t even in the frame. If anything, his decision to still ruin Ogbonna feels like he’s taking sympathy on you too.
People laughed at Sam Allardyce when he signed Van Aanholt and Schlupp – variants of the same not-quite-left-back left-backs – in the same window. Turns out you actually needed more than two of them to deal with Son.
Grosicki doesn’t even seem to know what has happened to him until after the fact. Not that he would have been able to stop it
In Krafth’s defence, he does well just to avoid collapsing into a heap.
Yeah, like that.
Yes, that’s a backheeled volleyed nutmeg.
Oh, you thought he needed to touch the ball in order to embarrass his marker? You don’t know Son.
Son Heung-min’s nutmegs should come with a parental guidance warning
