Tottenham's in-form Son leads South Korea over Qatar in World Cup qualifying

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Tottenham forward Son Heung-min scored the winner as South Korea rallied for a 3-2 comeback victory over Qatar in Asian qualifying for the World Cup.

Son curled in a shot in the 58th minute for his sixth goal in six games.

Swansea midfielder Ki Seung-yeung had put South Korea ahead in the 11th minute Thursday, but Qatar got goals from Hasan Al Haydos and Sebastian Soria to lead 2-1 at halftime.

Ji Dong-won equalized in the 56th, two minutes before Son scored the winner.

South Korea has seven points from three games in Group A, while Qatar is last with no points after three losses.
