South Korean forward Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League has become the first Asian to win the title of top scorer in the league.

Son netted two goals in the second half of the club’s final match of the season against Norwich City at Carrow Road in Norwich, England on Sunday, contributing to the team's 5-0 victory.

Tottenham finished in fourth place and clinched a berth in next season's UEFA Champions League.
