[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Son Heung-min’s big success this season is scary.
Tottenham Hotspur’s Son Heung-min started an away game against Everton in the 5th round of the FA Cup in the 2020/21 season held at Goodison Park on the 11th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min was involved in Tottenham’s four goals that day. The first of these goals, Davinson Sanchez’s corner, scored a header and assisted Harry Kane’s fourth goal.
Son Heung-min, who led the team’s attack despite Tottenham’s defeat, was the only player in Tottenham to receive a 9-point rating on the football statistics website’Whoscored.com’.
Son Heung-min scored 17 goals and 12 assists in the official game this season by adding 2 help to the match. Son Heung-min scored 22 games in the Premier League, 13 goals and 6 assists, 7 games in the UEFA Europa League, 3 goals and 3 assists (including qualifying), 2 games and 3 assists in the FA Cup, and 2 games in the League Cup.

Son Heung-min scored 11 goals and 10 assists in 30 league matches, 5 goals and 1 assist in 6 UEFA Champions League matches, and 2 goals in 4 FA Cup matches.
Before the league was halted in March due to Corona 19 last season, Son Heung-min missed three games due to an arm injury, and was unable to play five due to a penalty for dismissal.
In addition, due to an arm injury, Son Heung-min missed both matches against Leipzig, the UEFA Champions League round of 16 opponent.
Even taking this into account, Son Heung-min’s performance this season, which is close to the record of last season, is remarkable at the point of over half of the season.
