LONDON — In 12 seconds, with 12 touches and covering 80 yards, Son Heung-min scored what may be the Premier League's goal of the season for Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday. Son's 32nd-minute effort completely upstaged two goals from Harry Kane in a 5-0 rout of Burnley that drew gasps of admiration from his team mates and manager. Picking up the ball on the edge of his own area, the Asian International Player of the Year accelerated away from two opponents, slalomed through two further challenges on the halfway line and outpaced two defenders to shoot past the keeper for Tottenham's third goal. Yet afterwards the modest Son said he only kept going because he failed to find Dele Alli to pass to.
