A special striker was named as the winner of Tottenham's 'Goal of the Month' in the English Premier League.



Tottenham Hotspur announced on the club's website that the goal of Tottenham fan Riley Keith was selected as the 'Goal of the Month'.



Riley, a 5-year-old boy, scored a penalty kick in the event held at halftime in the Premier League match between Tottenham and Arsenal on the 13th.



Riley was born prematurely three months earlier than expected, and he was diagnosed with cerebral palsy and unable to walk.



However, his surgery and rehabilitation have allowed Riley to walk little by little, allowing him to kick the ball in front of the goal in his favorite Tottenham jersey.



A video of Riley kicking a ball went viral on the internet.



Tottenham Hotspur's Ben Davis and Joe Rodden spent time with Riley last month and invited him to a home game against Arsenal.



Tottenham fans cheered Riley on the ground and attempted a powerful left-footed shot, and the ball passed the Tottenham legend Pat Jennings, who kept the goal, and passed through the goal line.



Riley, who succeeded in scoring, imitated Son Heung-min's 'clicking ceremony' after a hand kiss.



Previously, Riley performed the same ceremony in a video call with Son Heung-min, and Son Heung-min also imitated this little fan's ceremony after scoring a goal against Leicester City on the 1st.

Riley's goal received an overwhelming 70.5% support in the Goal of the Month vote, beating all eight other candidates.



Second place was Heung-Min Son's second goal against Norwich City, with 16.1% support.



Heung-Min Son completed a multi-goal in the final match of the regular league, against Norwich City, by firing a medium-range cannon with his right foot.



With this goal, Son Heung-min, who scored 23 goals in the regular season this season, became joint top scorer with Liverpool Salah.



Heung-Min Son's goal was also third place.



Heung-Min Son's three goals were included in the Goal Candidates for May, and his left-footed medium-range cannon in the match against Leicester City received the third most votes with 8%.
