As Son Heung-min (30 years old from Chuncheon) remained silent at Brighton, his challenge for the most goals in a season in the league was postponed to the next opportunity.
Tottenham Hotspur lost 1-0 at home to Brighton & Hove Albion (Brighton) at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 16th in the 2021-22 English Premier League (EPL) round 33 home match. Heung-Min Son scored well in the last three games. He scored multiple goals in a 3-1 win over West Ham, and scored 1 goal and 1 assist against Newcastle. In addition, in the match against Aston Villa on the 10th, he scored a hat-trick and scored 17 league goals this season. But only against Brighton, Son Heung-min’s toes were quiet. On the 17th of last month, Tottenham beat Brighton 2-0, but like this match, Son Heung-min did not score a goal. Therefore, following the record for the most goals in a regular season in a season, the ‘most goals by a Korean player in a European league in a single season’ set by former national team coach Cha Beom-geun with 17 goals for Leverkusen, Germany, has been postponed to the next game.
Fortunately, he did not move away from Salah (Liverpool) in the scoring division. Salah, who is currently the top scorer with 20 goals, won 3-2 against Manchester City on the 16th, but Heung-Min Son is still chasing second by three goals. Tottenham Hotspur face Brentford on the 24th. Son Heung-min previously scored a key goal in a match against Brentford in December last year, leading the team to a 2-0 victory.
Heung-Min Son sets two new records in the upcoming match against Brentford, and it is expected that Tottenham will be able to continue their winning streak again. Shim Ye-seop
