After Son Heung-min won the AFC Asian International Player of the Year award on Saturday, the Tottenham Hotspur player marked the occasion with possibly the best goal of the Premier League this season.

During the match against Burnley, Son picked up the ball near his own box and ran the entire field, dribbling past numerous opponents players who tried to stop him, and slotted it into the back of the net.
