While Tottenham's Son Heung-min scored a multi-goal against Leicester City, a special ceremony for a 5-year-old fan is attracting attention.
Son Heung-min scored 2 goals and 1 assist in the match against Leicester City in the 35th round of the English Premier League (EPL) held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 1st local time, leading the team to a 3-1 victory.
Son Heung-min scored the 18th goal in the second half in the 15th minute, surpassing the record for most goals (17 goals) by a Korean player in a European league in a season set by former manager Cha Beom-geun with Leverkusen in the German Bundesliga in the 1985-1986 season.
Heung-Min Son then scored the 19th goal of the league with a picturesque left footed kick in the 34th minute of the second half.
At the 'Wonder Goal' created by Son Heung-min, teammate Pierre-Emile Hoybjerg put his hands on his head and put on an expression of disbelief.
However, Son Heung-min's second goal was a little different from usual.
Heung-min Son looked at the camera and kissed, then bent his fingers to form a hand that resembles a heart before showing off his signature 'Click Celebration'.

Heung-Min Son's unusual celebration was for a Tottenham fan, 5-year-old Riley.
According to local media such as ITV in the UK, Riley was born three months earlier than her due date and was diagnosed that she may not be able to walk forever, but after surgery and rehabilitation, she is able to walk little by little.
Although still uncomfortable, Riley's favorite thing to do is to play ball in Tottenham's jersey.
Upon hearing this story, the Tottenham club organized an event in which players directly visited Riley's house, and on the 29th of last month, the video was released on the club's YouTube channel.
In the video, Riley had a video call with Son Heung-min after playing soccer with Tottenham players Joe Rodden and Ben Davis.

At this time, Riley put her hands in her mouth and bent her fingers to reinterpret Son Heung-min's click ceremony in her own way, and after Son Heung-min scored his second goal against Leicester City, he copied the shape of Riley's hands.
After the match, Son Heung-min said, "It was cute to see Riley cheering even in difficult situations, and it gave me a lot of strength.
On the other hand, Son Heung-min defeated his idol Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United, 17 goals) with a multi-goal that day and came in second in the league in scoring alone, and narrowed the gap with the top scorer Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, 22 goals) to three goals.
This is a 'news pick'.
