Son, Muller celebrate first MLS goals
South Korea star Son, 33, scored a stunning free-kick just six minutes into his second start for Los Angeles FC, who drew 1-1 with FC Dallas.
Former Tottenham captain Son Heung-min and ex-Bayern Munich forward Thomas Müller both registered their first Major League Soccer goals on Saturday.
South Korea star Son, 33, scored a stunning free-kick just six minutes into his second start for Los Angeles FC, who drew 1-1 with FC Dallas.
It was Son's third appearance since ending his 10-year stay in the Premier League for a record MLS fee in excess of £20m.
"I'm glad I scored [my] first goal [in] the MLS and also for LAFC. But for me, the most important thing is to get three points. I'm really, really disappointed for that," Son said.
"I need still a lot of time to be connecting with the team. It's been only two weeks - maybe a little bit more - but I'm enjoying every single moment."
German Muller, 35, converted a penalty in the 14th minute of stoppage-time to clinch a dramatic 3-2 victory for Vancouver Whitecaps against St Louis City.
Muller, whose 25-year association with Bayern Munich ended with the expiration of his contract this summer, captained his new side in his first start after making a substitute appearance last week.
"That I was able to score the final goal in front of our crowd here, it was an amazing feeling, amazing," Muller said.
