  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Son Heung-Min continued his strong start to life in Los Angeles, scoring a wonderful free kick in the first half of their Western Conference clash with FC Dallas. The Korean star stepped up from 25 yards out, and whipped a set piece up and over the wall, just beyond a helpless Michael Collodi, who could only watch the ball fly into the top corner.

    Son has been immensely effective for LAFC in his short time at the club. He won a penalty off the bench in his first appearance, assisted in his second, and has now bagged his first goal in his third showing for the club.

  • DID YOU KNOW?

    The goal was just the second free-kick strike of Son's career. His one before then came from Tottenham in the 2021-22 season.

    WHAT NEXT FOR SON

    LAFC's next fixture is a Southern California derby with Western Conference leaders San Diego FC. It will, in all likelihood, be Son's home debut for the club.
