Son wins Carling Goal of the Month for November 2018

Awards

Spurs star says individual strike against Chelsea that claims prize for November was one of his best

The Carling Goal of the Month award for November has been won by Son Heung-min. 

The Tottenham Hotspur winger scored a wonderful individual effort against Chelsea, running from his own half down the right before cutting inside to curl the ball into the far corner with his left boot.

"One of the best goals in my career because it was a London derby, a big game," Son said after Carling presented him with his award.

"I was so excited to play Chelsea and score such a beautiful goal."

Practice paying off

As to his ability to score with his supposed weaker foot, Son put it down to the hours put in on the training field. 

"Sometimes I shoot better with my left foot than my right because I practice a lot of times," he said.

The strike won from a shortlist of eight goals thanks to the combined votes of a panel of experts and of the public, who picked their favourite via the Carling Tap and Carling website.
