Son Hopes 'Goals Come Soon' After MLS Debut

Son Heung-min is hoping that goals will come sooner rather than later, as he made his Major League Soccer (MLS) debut for Los Angeles FC on Aug 9, providing a burst of energy as a second-half substitute in a 2-2 draw with the Fire in Chicago.

The South Korean star was brought down for a penalty that Denis Bouanga converted to clinch a draw in the 81st minute—the video assistant referee confirming the spot kick after the referee had allowed play to continue.

"It was a great pass. Obviously it was definitely contact and it was definitely a penalty, I have no doubt about it," said the 33-year-old Son, who was sent sprawling by Carlos Teran after racing on to a through ball with the goal in his sights.

"A bit disappointed not getting three points, but I think everybody put in a lot of effort. (I'm) happy I made my debut and I hope the goals come soon."

The former Tottenham Hotspur captain also had a string of shots on goal, including one blocked in second-half injury time.
