Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL) needs momentum the most. After struggling under Nunu Santo’s manager at the beginning of the season, Antonio Conte took over and the team stabilized to a large extent, but it did not create an opportunity to strike out. After winning against a strong player, he was unable to maintain a good mood, such as a reckless loss to the weak.
It has been the same for the last 20 days or so. On the 20th of last month, they defeated the league’s strongest Manchester City 3-2 after a brawl, but lost 0-1 in the subsequent match against Burnley. In the match against Leeds after an unexpected defeat, they achieved a refreshing 4-0 victory. However, on the 2nd, they lost 1-0 in the FA Cup against Middlesbrough of the second division league after extra time and were eliminated. Therefore, Tottenham were desperately in need of another cool win to revive their momentum. This momentum had to be linked sexually.
Heung-Min Son (30) “Ace” revived the momentum of this team.
On the 8th, he led the team to a 5-0 victory by taking the lead in the attacking spearhead in the EPL round 28 home match of the 2021-2022 season against Everton held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th. With Harry Kane (29) at the forefront and Dejan Kulusevsky (22) on the right, he started as a left wing attacker and scored his 11th goal in the league in the 17th minute, leading 1-0 with an own goal from the opponent. When Kane, who was breaking through the right, threw the ball to the center, Kulusevsky opened up a scoring opportunity with a one-touch pass, and Heung-Min Son cut the net with an accurate shot.
This marks his second goal in a row after the last match against Leeds. It is the second time Son Heung-min has scored in a streak in the regular season following four consecutive goals scored in a match between Brentford and Crystal Palace in December last year. In this season alone, he recorded his 16th attack point with 11 goals and 5 assists in the regular league alone, making him tied for second place (16 points) with Jared Boen (26, West Ham) following Mohammed Salah (30, Liverpool, 29 points). climbed up Heung-Min Son also placed 4th in the league scoring rankings after Salah (19 goals), Sadio Mane (30·2 goals), and Diogo Jota (26·12 goals, over Liverpool).
After a fantastic goal was scored 2-0 with the breath of the ‘top 3’ and the decisiveness of Son Heung-min, Tottenham played a one-sided game and completely destroyed Everton, which has not been able to shake off its sluggishness this season. Kane scored the third goal in the 37th minute of the first half, and Sergio Reguilon (26) and Kane added more goals in the second half to finish the game in a complete victory. Tottenham Hotspur were able to create an opportunity to get out of the shock loss against Middlesbrough with a big win on the day.
