Tottenham star Heung-min Son once again had a selfie with an opposing coach - only this time he was more than happy to oblige.

The 31-year-old scored in South Korea's 2-2 draw against Jordan to remain unbeaten in Group E after two games at the Asian Cup.

Son broke the deadlock in the ninth minute, where he scored a 'Panenka' penalty - chipping the ball down the middle of the goal.

But it was Jordan who went into the break 2-1 up, and they looked to be heading for all three points, only for Yazan Al-Arab to score an own goal in second half stoppage time.

With the two nations level on four points at the top of Group E and poised to advance into the knockout stage, both camps were all smiles.

And Jordan assistant manager Hicham El Idrissi cheekily asked Son for a picture, with the forward happy to pose for the camera.

El Idrissi was left visibly buzzing as he walked away with a huge grin to cap off an almost perfect day for himself and Jordan.

It's not the first time that Son has been asked for a selfie, the only difference is this time he wasn't in tears.

Flash back to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and Korea lost 3-2 against Ghana in Group H with West Ham's Mohammed Kudus scoring twice.

It left Korea on the brink of an early exit, with Son having to be consoled following the full-time whistle.

But one member of Ghana's coaching staff had no sympathy for the ex-Bayer Leverkusen winger, as he decided to take a picture with the player.

With his hand on Son's shoulder, he looked down the lens, though Son refused to look.
