- Son Heung-Min was lining up with his teammates as they prepared to take on Sheffield United
- It was at this time the South Korean flushed out his hands to protect the young lad from rain
- His actions evoked admiration and praise from fans who hailed him as "a true gent of the game"
Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-Min once again left fans in awe on Saturday, November 9, in what was perhaps one of the most heartwarming moments of this weekend's Premier League action.
This was after the star striker was caught on camera covering a young mascot's head from rain with his hands shortly before his side's clash against Sheffield United.
Son would later get his name on the scoresheet, scoring Tottenham's opener in the 58th minute of the match.
However, the Mauricio Pochettino-tutored side went on to concede late in the game, with George Baldock earning a priceless point for Sheffield United.
Whereas Son would be heartbroken his goal did not earn Spurs all the three points, he would take pride in winning hearts with his touching gesture.
Fans took to social media to heap praise on the South Korean international, with one user describing him as "the purest soul in the world."
A second posted: "If there was a vote for nicest footballer in the world, pretty sure he would get it, love the man."
While a third added: "A true gent of the game."
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old's gesture comes just days after refusing to celebrate his Champions League goal against Red Star.
Instead, Son resolved to pay tribute to Everton's Angel Gomes who was left with a broken ankle following an accidental tackle by Son.
