Heung-min Son put his body on the line to net a goal for South Korea in their 6-0 friendly win over Vietnam this afternoon. 

The Spurs captain, who also wears the armband for his country, started and played all 90 minutes of the match, scoring one and assisting another for Korea.

Fortunately, Son was fit enough to play for South Korea, six days before Tottenham are back in Premier League action against Fulham next Monday.
