LAFC's Heung Min Son scored the MLS Goal of the Year (Video)
The goal with which the South Korean debuted with the LAFC jersey was voted by the fans as the best of the season
MLS announced on Monday that the best goal of the year, chosen after a fan vote, was South Korean forward Heung Min Son's first for LAFC, which he scored on a free kick from the edge of the box against Dallas on August 23.
Son's execution, who put the ball into the top corner and out of reach of the goalkeeper, it was the first goal of the 33-year-old in his third game for LAFC, the club he signed for on August 6 from Tottenham Hotspur.
Although the match in Dallas ended 1-1, Son's strike, which opened the scoring in the sixth minute, even roused the home fans.
Son's arrival at LAFC and in MLS has revolutionized the league. In addition to helping the Angels finish third in the Western Conference with 9 goals and 3 assists in 10 games, his jersey was the second best-selling among all players during the season, despite arriving late in the competition.
Only Lionel Messi of Inter Miami has surpassed him in this regard.
The MLS Goal of the Year has been awarded since 1996 and is chosen by a fan vote on the MLS website.
