Son Heung-min challenges West Brom for his 13th goal today
The competition for the top scorer in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) is getting hotter. Soon Heung-min, who was already tied for fourth place, has a farther way.
The lead in the competition is Muhammad Salach, scoring 15 goals for Liverpool.
Salach, who had fallen into a long goal silence in the league this year, scored multiple goals against West Ham on the 1st and rose to the top of the scoring ranking alone.
However, it seems very difficult to guarantee Salach’s solo.
This season, when the schedule is tight, there are a lot of injuries in Liverpool. The attack power that was like an active volcano has long since faded. This is expected to act as bad news for Salach’s scoring race.
In the midst of this, in the confrontation between Manchester United (Man United) and Everton held on the 7th (Korean time), Manchester United Bruno Fernandez and Everton Dominic Calbertruin scored one goal side by side to pursue Salach in earnest.
With a good view and pass that reads the flow of the game, Fernandes is showing off his sense of climax with an elaborate kick this season.
Despite being a midfielder, he has already scored 13 goals and is tied for second in the scoring rankings.
On this day,’microscope shooting’ also shone in the Everton game. In the last minute of the first half, he crossed the goalkeeper’s key from the right of the penalty spot and scored an additional 2-0 goal with a kick-off with his right foot falling into the goal.
Calbert Ruin also tied for second place with Fernandes, a dramatic tie for a 3-3 extra time in the second half, as well as his 13th goal of the season.
Calvert Ruin, who had been in goal silence for nearly two months after the Burnley match on December 5 last year, scored two consecutive goals in the last two games, predicting his performance in the second half.
Son Heung-min, who once climbed to the top of the scoring score, fell to fourth place (over 12 goals, Tottenham) with teammate Harry Kane.
It has already been six games, and has been unable to get out of the scoring pit for over a month.
Son Heung-min, who was hot in the first half, also weakened his scoring power, as Tottenham showed a very poor performance without covering offense and defense.
In addition, Kane, a “special assistant”, injured an ankle in the match against Liverpool on the 29th of last month, making Son Heung-min and coach Jose Mourinho Tottenham sigh.
Fortunately, the next opponent, West Brom, is a weak team that is in 19th place in the relegation zone. In particular, the defense is weak enough to score 52 runs, the most among 20 teams this season, so it is a perfect opportunity for Son Heung-min to break the scoreless chain.
The West Brom match, in which Son Heung-min scored only 7 games and challenged the 13th goal in the league, will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at 9 pm on the same day.
