Heung-Min Son has drawn level with Jermain Defoe on our all-time goalscoring list.
Sonny's strike to open the scoring against Bournemouth on Saturday took him to 143 goals in all competitions since joining us in September, 2015.
Recently reaching his century in the Premier League, the South Korean skipper has chalked up his 143 goals in 365 matches - just two more matches than Jermain - since his first goals for the Club against Qarabag in the Europa League on 17 September, 2015.
Sonny and Jermain are sixth equal on our all-time list, headed by Harry Kane on 273.
Double-winner Cliff Jones (159 goals) will be next in Sonny's sights and with it, a place in our all-time top five.
