Son Heung-min (30) scored his first multi-goal of the season to win the English Premier League (EPL) Tottenham Hotspur.
Son Heung-min took the lead in the team’s 3-1 victory by scoring two goals in the 24th minute and 43rd minute of the second half in the 2021-22 EPL Round 30 home match against West Ham United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 21st (Korea time). Heung-min Son, who was silent in both games after scoring in the 28th round against Everton on the 8th, performed a perfect match against West Ham.
This is the first time Son Heung-min has scored more than two goals in one game this season. He scored his 12th and 13th goals in the league and moved up to tied for second in the Premier League with Diogo Jota (Liverpool). If you include the UEFA Europa Conference League (1 goal and 1 assist), he has recorded 14 goals and 6 assists in the official game this season. Heung-Min Son scored a multi-goal, especially with the help of Harry Kane. The Thorn-Kane duo, who already have the record for most goals jointly in the Premier League, set a new record by scoring their 38th and 39th goals. Tottenham Hotspur jumped from 7th to 5th (51 points, 16 wins, 3 draws and 10 losses) by winning two consecutive league wins. West Ham are in 7th place (48 points, 14 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses).
Heung-min Son formed a tripod with Kane and Dejan Kulusevsky and actively aimed at the opponent’s goal from the beginning of the game. A lucky opponent’s own goal took the lead in the 9th minute. Kane’s pass to Son Heung-min from the right side of the penalty area hit West Ham’s Kurt Zuma and led to a goal. Two minutes later, Heung-Min Son received a pass from Kulusevsky and attempted a right-footed shot, but it hit the post. Heung-Min Son, however, received a penetration pass from Kane in the 24th minute of the first half and rushed to the left of the penalty area and shook the net with a left-footed shot. West Ham also scored a save goal with his right foot from a corner kick in the 35th minute of the first half.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Kane and Kulusevsky aimed several times in the second half, but it was seldom connected to the goal. However, in the 43rd minute of the second half, Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris’s goal kick was passed to Heung-Min Son with his head, and Heung-Min Son quickly broke through and put a right-footed shot into the post.
Meanwhile, Son Heung-min will join the Korean national football team led by coach Paulo Bento and prepare for the 9th and 10th rounds of the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian final qualifiers against Iran (24th) and the United Arab Emirates (29th).
