National soccer team captain Son Heung-min scored his first goal since returning to Tottenham after the Asian Cup. It was the 13th league goal in two months. It also means that we have now completely escaped a difficult time.
This is reporter Lee Jeong-chan.

Captain Son Heung-min, who was at the forefront for a long time in place of Richarlison, who left due to injury, roamed the length and breadth of the pitch.
In the 18th minute of the first half, he created a perfect opportunity for the first goal with a sharp forward pass, but transfer student Werner missed this and the attack point was lost. In the 9th minute of the second half, he aimed for the goal with a non-stop right-footed shot, but was blocked by the goal, leaving a disappointment.
Despite Son Heung-min’s struggles, Tottenham, who were trailing 1-0, showed a scary attitude.
In the 32nd minute of the second half, Werner finally scored the equalizer, and three minutes later Romero turned the score around with a header.
And in the 43rd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min’s time finally came.
Son Heung-min, who received an infiltration pass from Brennan Johnson and darted into the back space, avoided the defender’s strong pursuit and struck the corner of the goal with his right foot, leading to a 3-1 victory.
Son Heung-min, who tasted a goal for the first time in two months since celebrating the New Year on January 1, scored his 13th goal in the league and jumped to joint 6th place in scoring.
Despite the praise for his calm finish, Son Heung-min remained humble.
