Son Heung-min, who was unable to play due to a leg muscle injury, was also excited about Tottenham’s ‘theatre goal’.
Tottenham Hotspur won 3-2 at Leicester City in the 2021-22 Premier League match held on the 20th. It was a more dramatic victory than a drama. Tottenham were drawn 1-2 until the clock on the billboard showed 90 minutes.
In the 51st minute in the second half of extra time, a pass that led to Hoyvier and Doherty went to Steven Berwein, who scored the equalizer. It didn’t end here. One minute later, Leicester City lost the ball as if embarrassed, and Harry Kane’s penetration pass continued to Berwein again. And Berwein beat the keeper to score a comeback goal. The Tottenham bench was a melting pot of excitement.
Son Heung-min cheered by posting a picture of Berwein on his Instagram story right after the match, saying “My Boy”. Then, on the night of the 20th, on Berwein’s Instagram story, a picture of Son Heung-min following Berwein’s goal ceremony was uploaded in the locker room. Verbein has a signature ceremony where they cover their faces with their palms, which they imitated.
