'A tremendous goal' - Mourinho compares Spurs' Son to Ronaldo after stunning solo effort

Jose Mourinho says Son Heung-min’s sensational solo goal against Burnley reminded him of a goal Brazilian icon Ronaldo scored for Barcelona during the coach's time at the Spanish side.

With Tottenham already 2-0 up through goals from Harry Kane and Lucas Moura, the South Korean embarked on a mazy dribble from the edge of his own penalty area, beating several defenders before finishing calmly past Nick Pope.

Moussa Sissoko and Kane scored later in the game to see Mourinho’s side record a 5-0 win at home, moving on swiftly from the midweek defeat to Manchester United.
