Son Heung-min Ties Single Season Scoring Record for S. Korean in Europe

South Korean striker Son Heung-min of Tottenham Hotspur scored a goal on Saturday to tie Korean football legend Cha Bum-kun’s scoring record.

Son scored a goal in the 19th minute during a match against Bournemouth at White Hart Lane in London. Tottenham won 4-0 against Bournemouth, placing the team in second place behind Chelsea in the English Premier League (EPL).

It was Son’s 12th regular season goal in the EPL.

Including his goals in the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, Son has scored 19 goals so far this season, which equals to the single-season scoring record for a South Korean in Europe set by Cha during the 1985-1986 season.
