Departing Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min says farewell in front of fans in Seoul

A day after announcing his departure from Tottenham Hotspur, South Korea's Son Heung-min played what is expected to be his last match in a Spurs shirt in front of a home crowd at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on Sunday.

Son played 65 minutes of the sold-out 1-1 draw between Tottenham Hotspur and fellow English Premier League side Newcastle United and received thunderous applause from the 64-thousand fans in the stadium when substituted off.

During his nine-year career with the club, Son scored 173 goals in 454 matches across all competitions, ranking fifth on Tottenham's all-time scoring list.

In May, Son captained Spurs to a UEFA Europa League title, winning the team's first major trophy in 17 years.
