Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min (30) led the team to victory with the 11th goal in the league. Tottenham Hotspur, who climbed to 7th place with a series of great league victories, are now aiming to advance to the 4th place, which is given a ticket to the UEFA Champions League. It is also possible to climb to fourth place at once if the next opponent, Manchester United, is defeated.
Son Heung-min scored a 2-0 lead for Tottenham in the 17th minute in the home match against Everton in Round 28 of the English Premier League for the 2021-2022 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th (Korean time).
Harry Kane, who was breaking through the right, threw the ball to the center, and Dejan Kulusevsky opened up a scoring opportunity for Son Heung-min with a one-touch pass. Son Heung-min shook the net with a quick shot with his right foot from the right side of the penalty tee before the defenders caught up. Heung-min Son, who faced the cold evaluation of the local media after losing to Middlesbrough in the 2nd division in the FA Cup round of 16 match on the 2nd, enjoyed the joy by scoring a goal and holding a ‘shh celebration’.
With this goal, Son Heung-min scored two consecutive goals in regular league matches following Leeds United on the 26th of last month. The regular league goal streak is the second this season following goals in four consecutive games from Brentford to Crystal Palace in December last year.
He also increased his attack points to 11 goals and 5 assists in the regular league, placing second in the rankings after Mohammed Salah (19 goals, 10 assists). In the scoring ranking, he is fourth behind Muhammad Salah, Sadio Mane (12 goals), and Diogo Jota (12 goals, Liverpool).
Even after Heung-Min Son’s goal, Tottenham scored three goals in a 5-0 victory. Kane, who showed a sluggish appearance at the beginning of the season, scored multiple goals with a sense of well-being. It was his 10th league goal this season and his 176th in his Premier League career. After scoring his EPL debut against Sunderland on 7 April 2014, Kane surpassed Arsenal legend Thierry Henry (175 goals) to become the sixth all-time top scorer.
Matt Doherty, who has been changing every day since the appointment of Antonio Conte as manager, was also highlighted. Playing as a right wingback, he energized the offense with a long pass with high accuracy. Whoscore.com, a soccer statistics site, gave Doherty a score of 9.6, higher than Kane (9.5 points) and Son Heung-min (7.9 points), who scored two assists. Kulusevsky, who had already adapted after joining Tottenham in the winter transfer window, also scored 8.5 points in the match with two assists.
Tottenham Hotspur (7th, 45 points), who continued their big win over Everton following their 4-0 win over Leeds, entered the 4th place race, which had stalled for a while. They are only three points behind fourth-placed Arsenal (48 points). The next opponent they will face on the 13th is Manchester United (47 points), 5th in the league. Manchester United are in a bad mood with 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in their last 6 matches, including a 1-4 loss against Manchester City. If they continue the flow and beat Manchester United, they can aim to rise from 7th to 4th at once.
