Heung-min Son (30, Tottenham) and Hee-chan Hwang (26, Wolverhampton), the ‘CC (Chuncheon) duo’, who are active in the English Premier League (EPL), are getting longer.

Heung-Min Son played full-time as a starter in the EPL 5th round away match against West Ham in the 2022-23 season held at the London Stadium at 3:45 a.m. (Korean time) on the 1st. He played full-time in four games after playing full-time in the first round (4-1 win) against Southampton, but this time he also failed his first goal hunt of the season.

Son Heung-min missed his first goal of the season by a short shot. In the 34th minute of the first half, in the counterattack situation, Kulusevsky broke through the right flank and passed to Kane, who lowered the ball towards Son Heung-min, who rushed in front of the goal. However, an own goal was recorded as he was hit by Thilo Kerr in front of Son Heung-min. If it wasn’t for Kerr, Heung-Min Son was able to score enough goals, so it was a disappointing scene.

After breaking through the left flank in the 28th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min beat the defense and tried to shoot with his right foot, but the ball was deflected and went out of the goal. Son Heung-min only shot one shot and received the lowest rating in the team in most media, but he showed a lighter movement than before, making him look forward to the next game.

The match ended 1-1 with Susek’s equalizer in the 10th minute of the second half. Tottenham Hotspur, who went undefeated in the opening five consecutive matches (3 wins, 2 draws), maintained their third place in the league behind Arsenal and Manchester City.

At 3:30 a.m. on the same day, at the Vitality Stadium in Bournemouth, there was a match between Hwang Hee-chan’s Wolverhampton and the promotion team Bournemouth. After the first round against Leeds United, the playing time gradually decreased, and as Hwang Hee-chan, who had to miss out, the red light was turned on in the starting competition.
