Thirty-two minutes into the first half of the Burnley game with Tottenham Hotspur leading 2-0, Son Heung-min started to run towards the goalpost after taking the ball near the Spurs' penalty area.
As the South Korean footballer with nickname “Supersonic” crossed the field, 58,000 spectators began to stand up and cheered, “Go! Sonny!”.
Son whose instantaneous maximum speed is 34.4 kilometers per hour – equivalent to running 100 meters in 10.50 seconds – accelerated his dribble.
After crossing the half-line, he passed Burnley's defenders on two occasions by lightly kicking the ball forward. Son was faster dribbling than his teammates running without a ball. As he reached the penalty area of Burnley in 12 seconds passing eight defenders, it was just Son versus the goalkeeper. Son found the net with a right-footed shot.
