[Asia Economy Intern Reporter Kang Juhee] Son Heung-min (Tottenham)'s goal after a 70m sprint in the Burnley match was selected as the London Football Awards Goal of the Year.

On the 6th (Korean time), Son Heung-min received the Goal of the Year award at the London Football Awards 2020 held at the Roundhouse in Camden, London, UK.

The London Football Awards is an awards ceremony that selects the best players and managers among 12 teams based in London, marking its 7th year this year.

Players from 12 teams including Arsenal, Chelsea, Fulham, Queens Park Rangers, Tottenham, Watford, Crystal Palace, West Ham United, AFC Wimbledon, Brentford, Charlton Athletic, and Millwall compete.

Son Heung-min earned the honor with his goal in the Burnley match held last December. At that time, Son sprinted alone for about 70 meters from near his own penalty box and scored a goal, receiving cheers from football fans worldwide.

Son Heung-min was selected as 'Player of the Year' at this awards ceremony last year. He was also nominated this season, but the final winner was Chelsea's Abraham.

Son Heung-min, who injured his right arm in the Aston Villa match, is focusing on injury treatment.
