Heung-Min Son’s magnificent goal against Burnley has taken the ‘Goal of the Season’ accolade at the London Football Awards.
The South Korean star scored what has to be one of our all-time great goals, certainly in the Premier League era, in our 5-0 win against the Clarets at the new stadium on 7 December.

Picking the ball up on the edge of our box, Sonny sped away from Robbie Brady and James Tarkowski before blasting past Dwight McNeil. He skipped away from last man Erik Pieters, sprinted away from Matt Lowton and Ben Mee and then provided a composed finish, slotting the ball past Nick Pope. It was 12 seconds from start to finish and a thing of footballing beauty.
Sonny beat fine strikes from Jordan Ayew (Palace v West Ham), N’Golo Kante (Chelsea v Liverpool), Sebastien Haller (West Ham v Bournemouth) and Sophie Ingle (Arsenal Women v Chelsea) to claim the award.
