The British media also welcomed the resurrection of Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham).
Tottenham won 4-0 in the 19th round of the 2022-23 season English Premier League (EPL) against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London, England at 4:45 am (Korean time) on the 5th. Tottenham had 33 points (10 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses) and Palace stayed at 22 points (6 wins, 4 draws, 7 losses).
Tottenham came out with a 3-4-3 formation. Hugo Lloris, Christian Romero, Eric Dyer, Clement Lenglet, Matt Doherty, Piel Emir Hojbjer, Oliver Skip, Ivan Perisic, Brian Hill, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min started.
Tottenham’s first goal came in the 2nd minute of the second half. Kane headed Perisic’s cross and shook the net. Kane scored an additional goal five minutes later with a powerful right-footed shot. Tottenham scored even with Doherty’s left-footed shot in the 22nd minute of the second half and drove a wedge. 메이저사이트
The end of the firepower show was decorated by Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min penetrated into the space behind the defense in the 27th minute of the second half, overcame a struggle and shook the net with a left-footed shot. It was the first goal scored in 9 games. It was the moment when Son Heung-min’s scorer, which had stopped after his hat-trick in the 8th round against Leicester last September, was activated again.
Son Heung-min rewrote history with the league’s 4th goal. Son Heung-min, who scored 97 goals in the Premier League, ranked second in Tottenham’s all-time highest individual goals, standing shoulder to shoulder with legend Teddy Sheringham. The first place is Kane’s 198 goals. Together with their partner, they climbed 1-2 places, proving that they are Tottenham’s best duo in name and reality.
Britain’s ‘Sky Sports’ also welcomed the resurrection of Son Heung-min. The media said, “This goal is the moment to break the silence that Son Heung-min so longed for. Son Heung-min, who ran without scoring, finally scored, and Tottenham took a chance to pursue fourth place.”
Son Heung-min said after the game, “I was able to score 4 goals as I changed the flow in the second half, and I am happy to win. He was very sorry for the team because he couldn’t score much. I hope today will be a turning point. This goal gave him confidence,” he said.
