Son's brilliant reaction to Eric Dier goal as Team K League boss names standout Tottenham man

Not many Tottenham fans would have backed Eric Dier to open the club's account for the summer in their pre-season friendlies. Failing to find the net for the Lilywhites since the final day of the 2018/19 campaign, the centre-back produced a moment of brilliance to fire Spurs ahead against Team K League.

Picking up the ball on the halfway line and bursting through the middle of the park after a quick exchange with Bryan Gil, the long-serving Spurs man unleashed an unstoppable effort with his left foot that flew into the top corner. It came as no shock to see the player with a huge smile on his face as he ran across to Ryan Sessegnon to celebrate.

Setting Spurs on their way in a game in which they ran out 6-3 winners, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min joined their teammate on the scoresheet with two goals apiece after on own goal minutes into the second half had given the visitors a 2-1 lead. Dier's strike was undoubtedly the standout, with Son quite clearly shocked by it when speaking to SpursTV after the match.
