Son Heung-min scored his team’s second goal in the 18th minute of the first half when his team was leading 1-0 at home against Everton in the 18th round of the 2023-2024 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 24th (Korea time).
As Everton scored a comeback goal, Son Heung-min’s goal became the winning goal. Son Heung-min, who scored his 10th goal in the 16th round against Newcastle on the 11th, set a milestone of double-digit goals in eight consecutive Premier League seasons, maintained a joint third place in scoring by scoring a goal in two games.
He is three goals ahead of injured leader Erling Holan of Manchester City. He is one goal behind second-ranked Mohamed Salah of Liverpool. Son, who has scored 114 goals overall in the Premier League, became the 23rd scorer alone, beating Arsenal legend Ian Wright of 113 goals.
In the 31-year history of the Premier League, which was launched in 1992, only six players (Thierry Henry, Sadio Mane, Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, Frank Lampard, and Wayne Rooney) had achieved this before Son Heung-min, leaving his name in Premier League history as he became the seventh player.
“It is not enough for us to lead 2-0 in the second half in the Premier League,” Son said after the match against Everton. “Everton put pressure on us and we handled it well.” 카지노사이트 순위
“My teammates played a fantastic game and I’m happy to get three points. I think we deserved to get three points,” he said. “Football has ups and downs. Players have to unite. We learned a lot from our recent mistakes. I’m glad that all the players did their best.”
Tottenham, which rebounded with three consecutive wins after winning five games (one draw and four losses), recorded 11 wins, three draws and four losses (36 points). Everton, which had 10 points cut last month due to violation of fiscal rules, stopped its four-game winning streak and ranked 16th (8 wins, two draws, eight losses and 16 points).
Son has been strong in the Christmas season so far. He scored one goal for Southampton in 2016 and one goal and two assists against Southampton again the following year.
In 2018, he scored two goals – one assist against Everton on 24 December, and two goals against Bournemouth three days later. In 2021, he scored one goal against Crystal Palace.
