Tottenham fans will love what Jose Mourinho did to Son Heung-min after Burnley wonder goal

It was a great day for Tottenham and Jose Mourinho as Spurs ran riot against Burnley in north London.

Spurs ran out 5-0 winners against the Clarets, with Harry Kane netting twice, along with goals from Lucas Moura, Son Heung-min and Moussa Sissoko.

Son was the man being talked about after the game after his superb solo effort, having picked up the ball from inside his own half, before racing past several Burnley defenders to score Tottenham's third, which was described by Mourinho as an amazing goal, while Gary Lineker said in his opinion, it was the goal of the season.

And Mourinho was clearly in good spirits after the game as he interrupted Son's post-match interview with BBC programme Match of the Day.

While the South Korean international was being interviewed by Guy Mowbray, Mourinho could be heard off camera asking whether Son was man of the match, following his goal.

Mowbray responded to say the decision had not been made, but Son was sure about where the goal ranked in his career.

"I think it is the best goal in my life," Son said.

"I don't know what happened until the end! When I got the ball l tried to pass to Dele Alli and waited for his movement.

"But I couldn't find him so I just went and went. I'm happy to score this goal."
