(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Bo-in = Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) scored the 21st goal in the league and his team competed for the 4th place in the English Premier League (EPL) and headed for the first EPL scorer from Asia. I hurried my steps.

Tottenham Hotspur won the match against Arsenal at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 13th (Korea time) in the EPL 22nd round match match for the 2021-2022 season, with Harry Kane’s multi-goal and Son Heung-min’s key goal woven 3-0.

As a result, Tottenham, 5th in the league, accumulated 65 points (20 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses), narrowing the gap to 4th place Arsenal (66 points, 21 wins, 3 draws and 12 losses), which stopped 4 victories, to 1.

While both teams have only two matches left until the end of the league, Tottenham will continue their race for fourth place with a place to qualify for the UEFA Champions League next season.

Heung-Min Son appeared as a starter and played 72 minutes and was very active.

After inducing a penalty kick in the first half, he sent off the opposing defender, and in the second half, he directly operated the scoring and performed a ‘one-man show’ that magnified the team’s victory.

Son Heung-min, who had been scoring goals in three consecutive games until this day, continued his record for the most goals in a regular season with his 21st goal in the league.

Son Heung-min scored his 18th and 19th goals in the 35th round against Leicester City on the 1st, breaking his record for most goals in a league season (17 goals) set last season, and 17 goals in the German Bundesliga for Leverkusen in the 1985-1986 season. In addition to former national team manager Cha Beom-geun, who scored a goal, he also set a new record for the most goals scored by a Korean player in a European league season.

Heung-Min Son, who also scored one goal against Liverpool and Arsenal, kept second place in the Premier League with 21 goals. It is just one goal behind leader Mohammed Salah (Liverpool, 22 goals).

In addition, Son Heung-min scored a total of 22 goals in official matches this season, including one in the UEFA Europa Conference League this season, also tied with the most goals recorded in his season (22 goals) in an official game last season.

Jahanbaksi played for AZ Alkmaar in the 2017-2018 season in the Dutch Eredivisie in 33 matches and scored 21 goals, becoming the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the European First Division.

Heung-Min Son scored a penalty kick in the 21st minute of the first half, which the team faced 0-0, and laid the foundation for the opening goal.

Cedric Soars fouled Heung-Min Son who rushed to receive a cross from Dejan Kulusevsky, and a penalty kick was awarded, and Harry Kane, the kicker, shook the net.

Son Heung-min then even induced Arsenal defender Rob Holding to be sent off in the 33rd minute of the first half.

In the 11th and 12th minutes of the first half, Holding collided with Son Heung-min in a strong physical fight, and received a yellow card for stopping Son Heung-min in the 26th minute.

Tottenham, who even had a numerical advantage, easily widened the gap with Arsenal.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Heung-Min Son’s corner kick was returned to the head by Rodrigo Bentancour, which Kane finished with a header from the doorstep.

As the ball flowed while Arsenal’s defense blocked Kane from digging into the penalty area, Son Heung-min rushed in and shook the Arsenal net with a right-footed shot.

Son Heung-min, who had done his part, was replaced with Stevan Bergwein in the 27th minute of the second half and stepped down to the bench, and Tottenham defended the victory by three goals.
