Fans joke Tottenham's clash with K-League All-Stars is 'FIXED' after Son scores comical goal after defensive howler | The Sun

SON HEUNG-MIN scored a comical goal for Tottenham in his native South Korea – leading fans to joke the match was FIXED.

Spurs beat a K-League All-Star team 6-3 today in their first game of pre-season.

Eric Dier gave Antonio Conte's side the lead with a long-range belter in a nine-goal thriller in Seoul.

Harry Kane netted on either side of a Son penalty, but it was Son's second that had fans on social media in stitches.

The goal came when All-Stars defender Ji-Soo Kim picked up the ball on the edge of his own box… and just passed it directly to Son.

Last season's Premier League Golden Boot winner gobbled up the chance, rounding the goalkeeper to find the back of the net.
