Son Heung-min Set for Tottenham Return After South Korea Knocked Out of Asian Cup by Jordan

Jordan will play in the AFC Asian Cup final for the first time after beating South Korea 2-0. South Korea captain Son Heung-min will now return to Tottenham.

Jordan will play in the AFC Asian Cup final for the first time ever after beating South Korea 2-0 in Qatar.

Yazan Al-Naimat fired Jordan in front 53 minutes into Tuesday's semi-final with a smart chipped finish following a misplaced pass by Park Yong-woo.

Mousa Al-Tamari then wrapped up a famous victory with a stunning solo goal by dribbling with the ball from inside his own half before beating keeper Jo Hyeon-woo with a precise low shot from 22 yards.

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min played the full 90 minutes for South Korea but his team failed to record a single shot on target.

Son will now return to London and should be available to play for Spurs against Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday.

Jordan will also be back in action on Saturday. Their opponents will be the winners of Wednesday's second Asian Cup semi-final between Iran and hosts Qatar.
