Son leaves the pitch in tears at the end of his last game with Tottenham

Milan, 3 August (LaPresse) – One day after announcing his imminent departure from Tottenham after 10 years with the club, Son Heung-min received an emotional farewell on Sunday from his teammates, Newcastle players and nearly 65,000 fans at the Seoul World Cup Stadium. The pre-season friendly in South Korea between the Premier League sides ended 1-1, with the highlight being Son's exit in the second half, likely his last game for Tottenham. The 33-year-old captain was surrounded by both sets of players before sitting down on the bench in tears. Son, who has been linked with Los Angeles FC, has scored 173 goals in 454 appearances for the London club but failed to find the net in what Frank described as probably his last appearance. However, his trademark “camera” goal celebration was replicated by Brennan Johnson, who put Tottenham ahead in the fourth minute with a low shot from the edge of the box. Harvey Barnes equalised for Newcastle seven minutes before half-time, cutting in from the left and firing powerfully into the net.
