Tottenham Hotspur fans react as Son Heung-min and South Korea win their World Cup qualifier vs UAE

Tottenham Hotspur superstar Son Heung-Min opened the international break with South Korea by securing a clinical 1-0 victory over the United Arab Emirates. With this victory, his team is placed comfortably in second position in their World Cup qualifying group.

The Taegeuk Warriors opened the scoring via a penalty in the 36th minute courtesy of a composed finish from Hwang Hee-Chan. The hosts dominated the game as well as position and were in control more most periods.

They had greater composure and technical finesse on the ball and the 29-year-old Spurs forward was inches away from getting himself on the scoresheet and he made a superb run and cut across players only for his shot to hit the post just as the half was coming to an end.
