Watch: Tottenham star Son Heung-min's brilliant assist for South Korea vs Georgia

Son Heung-min can always be relied upon to provide a moment of quality for South Korea.

The Tottenham Hotspur forward has been involved in plenty international fixtures for his country in the past 12 months.

After competing in last summer's World Cup in Russia, he took part in a successful 2018 Asian Games tournament and assisted both extra-time goals to win the Gold Medal match vs Japan.

In doing so, Son and the whole South Korea squad guaranteed their exemption from mandatory military service.

Then in January later the 27-year-old was participating in yet another tournament - his third in the space of six months for those struggling to keep count.

This time it was the 2019 Asian Cup in the United Arab Emirates, although he was granted permission to miss the first two group games thanks to an agreement Spurs had struck with the South Korea FA.

There was to be no joy for Son and co as they were beaten on penalties at the quarter-final stage by eventual winners Qatar.

Son featured for his national team during the summer and was selected for duty against Georgia and the World Cup qualifier against Turkmenistan next week.

And as expected, the Spurs ace registered a nice assist for Ui Jo Hwang to equalise against Georgia in what turned out to be a entertaining friendly.

Mauricio Pochettino makes FIFA The Best shortlist

Son was substituted after the hour mark, presumably saving his legs for Tuesday's game.

Spurs fans as well as Mauricio Pochettino will hope the forward comes through that encounter unscathed as the Lilywhites are entering a busy period in their fixture list.

A week on Saturday they welcome London rivals Crystal Palace to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, before facing Olympiakos in the Champions League four days later.
