""We were practising free-kicks the day before," said defender Tafari. "I looked at the top corner and, like magic, the ball ended up there. I was incredibly happy for him. "This guy's first three games - hang it in the Louvre! He earns a penalty, then gets an assist, then gets a goal. "I don't know what's going to happen next week! That's on him, but he's doing a phenomenal job and I love his energy.""
"Son has wasted no time in getting up to speed following his arrival from Tottenham, winning a penalty as a substitute on his debut against the Chicago Fire, then registering an assist against the New England Revolution on his first start. But his best moment yet came at Toyota Stadium on Saturday, as he whipped a terrific free-kick past Dallas goalkeeper Michael Collodi in the sixth minute."
Son Heung-min opened his MLS account with a whipped free-kick past Michael Collodi in the sixth minute as Los Angeles FC drew 1-1 with FC Dallas. Son had earlier won a penalty on his debut and provided an assist on his first start after joining from Tottenham. Logan Farrington's 13th-minute deflected strike levelled the match. LAFC dominated the second half with 1.45 expected goals (xG) to Dallas's 0.37 but settled for a point. The result extended LAFC's unbeaten run to three matches and left them fourth in the Western Conference, 12 points behind San Diego FC with three games in hand. Son is set to make his LAFC home debut next week.
