Good thing that you brought it up
Reminiscent of Maradonna, George Weah, and Iñaki Williams. Especially the latter two, as Son's goal also came from having just defended a dead ball in his own half. Also like the latter two, there's a moment during the first viewing when you start thinking, umm, this one would be spectacular if he scores. For Weah, it's when he dribbled into a crowd, briefly seemed to have lost possession, only to break free again. For Williams, it was that one outrageous flick-and-turn that saw him off to the races. For Son, it's when he decided to put on the after burners just before the halfway line.
Can't remember if you are a Spurs fan, but Mourinho seems to have turned the ship around for now.

A bummer of a side story from the same match was that a 13 year old Burnley "supporter" was thrown out of the match for making racist gestures towards Son.
Overall, it was a pretty bad weekend for people who oppose racism in the supporters' sections as there were several incidents at a number of matches. Humanity continues to disappoint.
