[Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London, England) = Egan Sports Chosun Dotcom reporter] It was the same as Son Heung-min's goal in the Puskas Award, which will remain a path in football history. Mickey van der Ben (Tottenham) has booked the Puskas Award this season.

Tottenham won 4-0 in the fourth round of the European Champions League (UCL) League phase of the 2025-2026 season against FC Copenhagen at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 4th (local time).

The best player was by far Van de Ben. He scored a picturesque goal in the ninth minute of the second half when he was leading 2-0. Caught the ball right in front of Tottenham's penalty area. And ran like a storm. He dribbled about 80 meters and dropped Copenhagen defenders like chupung leaves. Coming to the opponent's penalty area, he attempted a left-footed shot and shook the net. Tottenham, who had one fewer player due to the exit of Brennan Johnson, were able to win a big victory thanks to the goal.

It was almost like Son Heung-min's goal. Son Heung-min scored a picture-like goal at home against Burnhey on December 7, 2019. He snatched the ball from his side. I ran as it was. Son Heung-min scored a goal with his right foot shot after running right in front of the goal area. Son Heung-min won the Puskas Prize that season.

Van der Ben cleanse himself of the controversy in the very previous game with this goal. Van der Ben was at the center of controversy in the Premier League home game against Chelsea on the 2nd. Tottenham lost 0-1 at the time. After the game, Van de Ben went straight to the locker room without greeting fans as well as manager Thomas Frank. There was criticism over the passing controversy. Frank defended after the game, saying, `It's just a happening.' Van der Ben rewarded the fans and Frank with a `Son Heung-min's classic Puskas-class goal.'
