Ki Sung-yeung scored a goal for Swansea City in the 20th minute in a match against Tottenham.

After Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson’s free kick-attempt was blocked by Hugo Lloris’ one handed-save, defender Neil Taylor sent a well-placed pass to Ki who was positioned in the box.

Ki then sent the ball through Lloris’ legs to score his sixth goal of the season making him the highest scoring South Korean in a single English Premier League season.

Park Ji-sung had twice scored five goals in a season (2006-2007 and 2010-2011).

Ki’s goal tied the game at 1-1, but Tottenham scored two goals in the second half to win going away.
