[Sports Round-up] Son Heung-min plays final match for Spurs in Seoul

It's Monday, which means it's time to take a look at what's been happening in the world of sports.

For that, we have our sports editor Paul Neat joining us in the studio.

Welcome, Paul.

Hello. Thank you.

Let's start with football and the huge news that broke over the weekend.

Son Heung-min is leaving Tottenham Hotspur after 10 years with the club.

Yes, that's right. Son announced on Saturday that he has made the decision to leave Spurs.

There had been much speculation about his future, with just one year left on his contract.

Just before a press conference for the final Coupang Play match with Newcastle United, Son told the media there that he had made his decision.

It meant that the match the following day in Seoul was his last for Spurs.

He started as captain and was taken off after 65 minutes to a standing ovation and a guard of honor of sorts.

Son racked up 173 goals and 101 assists in 454 matches for Spurs across 10 seasons, ranking fifth on the club's all-time scoring list.

He leaves as a club and Premier League legend.

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

He is expected to sign a deal with Major League Soccer club Los Angeles FC in the coming days.

Sticking with football.

There were more summer friendly matches, including the K League all-star game.

Yes, that's right. Team K League actually beat Premier League club Newcastle United.

On Wednesday at Suwon World Cup Stadium, a goal from Jeonbuk midfielder Kim Jin-gyu earned Team K League a 1-0 win.

It was only the second win for a K League all-star team against a club from Europe, and the first time keeping a clean sheet.

The next day, when FC Seoul hosted Barcelona, fans were given something of a goal-fest to enjoy.

The match ended 7-3 to Barcelona --with five goals in each half.

Barca aren't done in Korea yet, though.

They face Daegu FC tonight in the final match of their Asian tour.

Moving on to baseball now.

Lee Jung-hoo can now say he has had a four-hit game.

Yes, indeed. Something he'd never done before in MLB.

But he achieved that feat for the San Francisco Giants on Sunday, helping them beat the New York Mets 12 to 4.

His first hit, which came in the third inning, led to him scoring a run to bring the score level at 1-1.

In the fourth inning, his hit led to the Giants earning a 6-1 lead.

Hit three came in inning number six, then the fourth in the ninth -a double to left field.

He's gone 7 for 12 in three matches in August, raising his batting average to point-2-5-8.

Against the Mets alone, he has gone 12 for 23 with five doubles.

And finally, to the Swimming World Championships.

Although Team Korea's achievements weren't as good as last year, there's still reason to be optimistic.

Yes, the men's 400-meter medley relay team reached the final for the first time.

The team of Lee Ju-ho, Choi Dong-yeol, Kim Young-beom, and Hwang Sun-woo finished in seventh place. with a time of 3-minutes-32-point-3-2 seconds.

The same team also finished fifth in the men's four-by-200-meter relay final on Friday.

The biggest achievement was Kim Woo-min's 4-hundred-meter bronze in the men's freestyle.

The one medal is significantly fewer than last year in Doha, but with Kim's bronze and the relay team showing some promise, there's new hope for the nation's swimmers.

Alright, thanks for that, Paul.

See you next week.

Thank you.
