'I put my booster on': Son reveals secret to wonder-goal

Son Heung-min admitted he considered passing before the Tottenham winger "put his booster on" to score his astonishing goal of the season contender against Burnley.

Son's stroke of genius was hailed as one of the best goals in Tottenham's glittering history as he virtually ran the entire length of the pitch before firing home in Saturday's Premier League clash in north London.

Tottenham manager José Mourinho dubbed the South Korea star "Son-aldo" in reference in a brilliant strike scored by Brazilian legend Ronaldo for Barcelona against Compostela in 1996.

But Son said he was actually looking to pass to Dele Alli before instead setting off on the counter-attacking gem that earned comparisons with Lionel Messi and George Weah.
