Son Heung-min is now our favorite footballer on the planet. And with an average of a goal every 147 minutes this season, he's a damn good footballer at that.

To go along with everything else that 2016 conspired to throw in our face, the Major League Soccer season was no less sensational. The teams that contested the 2015 MLS Cup Final both failed to make the playoffs, Landon Donovan made a remarkable return to action and the entirety of the Seattle Sounders season was basically made for Hollywood.

Tigers opened the scoring but Bruno Valdez has equalized for America in the 68th minute of the Liga MX final. Andre-Pierre Gignac scored a brilliant goal at the stroke of halftime, but Valdez has gotten on the end of a America corner to draw level in the first leg at the Estadio Azteca.

Andre-Pierre Gignac has given Tigres a 1-0 advantage over America in the first leg of the Liga MX final. Oribe Peralta sent a penalty over for America earlier in the first half, and Tigres now have complete control of the tie. 

Thomas Meunier is a right back so this goal probably shouldn’t have been allowed to stand. It’s outrageous in the extreme.

This goal is so luscious that the 3 Musketeers candy bar company if filing a lawsuit for stealing their recipe. This goal is softer than goose down feathers and silkier than satin. Thomas Meunier pick up your phone, kittens are calling you, they want their velvety fluff back.
