South Korea are one match away from Asian Games gold as they beat Vietnam 3-1 in the semi-final. The Asian side will face either Japan or the UAE in the final as Son Heung-min must aim to cap off the tournament in the best possible manner.

The South Korean could avoid military service should they pick up the gold (h/t Football.london) and that would come as huge relief to Tottenham.
The 26-year-old played only 10 minutes of our first Premier League game but he would come back with a lot of confidence with the gold from the Asian Games.
Some Tottenham fans were cheering our star on with the climax of the competition ahead and here are some of their reactions from Twitter.
So much love for Son. I hope they do it!
