Son Heung-min: "Pedro Obiang's goal was better"

Son: "Pedro Obiang's goal was better"

Son Heung-min has talked up the quality of Pedro Obiang's "unbelievable" strike against Tottenham Hotspur, conceding that the West Ham United midfielder's goal was better than his own.

Both players found the net in the final 20 minutes of the match on Thursday evening, as the London rivals played out a 1-1 draw at Wembley Stadium.

Son rocketed the ball home from more than 30 yards to cancel out Obiang's opener, which also came from around the same distance - West Ham's first shot of any note and their only effort on target all game.

Asked about the quality of the strikes after the match, the South Korean forward told Sky Sports News: "Obiang's goal was better - the strike was unbelievable. We have the best goalkeeper in the world and he cannot do nothing. It was a great strike."

West Ham move up to 15th place in the Premier League table as a result of the draw, while Spurs remain fifth and now three points adrift of a Champions League spot.
