The goal for Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) to aim at the dawn of the 14th (Korean time) has changed. It is Fulham recovered from Corona 19 instead of Aston Villa, which was swept by Corona 19.

Originally, Tottenham was scheduled to play Aston Villa in the UK’s Birmingham Villa Park on the day of the 2020-21 season away from the England Premier League (EPL) Round 18. However, the game was postponed due to a large number of corona19 confirmed cases in Aston Villa.

The EPL Secretariat said, “Aston Villa players and many of the staff are infected with Corona 19 or are in quarantine.” “At the request of the club, we decided to reschedule the fight against Tottenham.” At Aston Villa, the training ground was closed last week after 14 people tested positive for Corona 19.

The EPL Secretariat was scheduled to be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 31st of last month, but decided to play the postponed Tottenham-Fulham match instead. This match has been postponed three hours before the start of the match, with a number of corona 19 confirmed cases from Fulham.

It is noteworthy whether Son Heung-min, who took a sufficient break on the bench without playing away from the England Football Association (FA) Cup 3rd round (Round of 64) the day before and took a break from the Marine FC (8th division), will run the scoring gun for 3 consecutive games without worrying about the changed opponent.

Tottenham faced Wickham Wanderers, the lowest 24th place in the midnight championship (second part) on the 23rd, as a result of a draw in the FA Cup round 4 (final 32). Tottenham met Wickham in the 2016–17 FA Cup round of 32, lagging 0-2 and winning 4-3 by scoring 4 goals in the second half. At that time, Son Heung-min scored the team’s first and final goals. A big match between Liverpool and Manchester United was also held in the FA Cup round of 32.
