[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Lim Juhyung] Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham Hotspur FC)'s so-called 'Burnley Wonder Goal' has been confirmed as a nominee for the English Premier League (EPL) 'Goal of the Month'.

The EPL office announced eight nominees for Goal of the Month for December last year through its official website on the 4th (Korean time). Among the nominees is the goal Son Heung-min scored during the home match against Burnley FC on the 8th of last month.

At that time, Son Heung-min received the ball near Tottenham's penalty area, then dribbled solo past Burnley players, penetrated into the opponent's penalty area, and scored with a right-footed shot.

Son Heung-min sprinted about 70 meters while dribbling and beat six players.

Meanwhile, the EPL Goal of the Month is selected by combining fan votes and expert selections.

Fan voting is scheduled to close at 6 PM on the 6th.
