Tottenham ace Son Heung-min showed the skills in his arsenal as he pulled off an audacious nutmeg against Chile in a recent friendly match with South Korea.

The 26-year-old, who recently won the Asian Games to earn exemption from national service, exacted revenge on Diego Valdes after the Chile man mocked Son days before the match.

But having jumped over the sliding challenge of Barcelona's Arturo Vidal, Son sensed his moment when an onrushing Valdes saw the ball swiftly knocked through his legs.

Son is in fine form and just two minutes into the friendly against Chile he had players chasing shadows.

With Valdes approaching, a quick thought from Son allowed him to backheel the ball successfully through the Chilean's legs - much to his embarrassment.

The match ultimately finished 0-0 which left the door ajar for the discussion to be dominated by Valdes' behaviour off the field in the build up to the friendly.

All eyes were on Valdes and Son after a photo of the former emerged online where he appeared to be directing a 'racist gesture' at the South Korean, pointing to his eyes.

Writing on Instagram by way of apology, Valdes wrote: 'In relation to the photograph that has appeared on social media, it was never my intention to offend and I offer my apologies to anyone that could have been offended.'
