Son Heung-min and South Korea side moved one step closer to winning gold at the ongoing Asian Games after a 4-3 win over Uzbekistan.

The Tottenham star has been away on national duty after the first Premier League game. Winning a gold medal could help him avoid mandatory military service, according to Football.london.
Son’s place in the starting XI has been taken over by Lucas Moura. Although we are direly missing the talented South Korean, it is clearly important for him to win nothing less than gold.
Some Spurs fans were excited with the result and a few even wanted South Korea to provide military immunity for Son.
ANNOUNCE MILITARY IMMUNITY
