Son Heung-min's team, Tottenham, beat Manchester United 4-3 in the quarterfinals of the English Football League (EFL) Cup in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 20th.

According to soccer statistics media Footmob, the goal's expected score (xG) is only 0.01. This means that the goal is virtually impossible to get in.
In the rare scene of a corner kick goal, some say that they can expect the FIFA Puskas Award next year.

With this goal, Son won the Puskas Prize in 2020.
Recently, the secretariat of the English Premier League (EPL) re-examined its performance by posting a video of Son Heung-min scoring in commemoration of the fifth anniversary of his goal in Fuskas.

In an interview after the game, Son Heung-min explained that the goal was tactically attached to the goalkeeper, but he was not aiming to score.
Son Heung-min once scored a corner kick goal in elementary school and I think it's his first time scoring it"I think I've been lucky and I'm happy to help my team with a goal at an important moment."
"I always put a corner kick tactic like this, but I thought I put it too much." "I didn't kick it for a goal." There are a lot of players rushing around, so I think the goal has been scored in a complicated situation."

Son Heung-min said "I don't think we should have settled down just because we are winning 3-0 in the game, but I think we should have played our own game a little more."What's important is that we settled down well in the semifinals. Watching this game, it will help the players understand well and improve in the future."
