Assisted First Half Corner Against Tottenham-Sheffield
亞 first player… 7th in the team
Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) was the first Asian player to record his 100th attacking point in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL).
Son Heung-min helped Sergio Orier’s heading opening goal with a 5-minute corner kick in the 2020-2021 EPL round 19 away game against Sheffield United at Bramole Lane in Sheffield, England on the 18th (Korean time).
With this, Son Heung-min raised the 18th league (12 goals and 6 assists) and 25th (16 goals and 9 assists) offensive points this season. In particular, Son Heung-min added one help on this day and entered the EPL in 2015 wearing a Tottenham uniform, and then recorded 65 goals and 35 assists in the regular league, achieving 100 total league attack points.
According to Opta, a website specializing in soccer statistics, the EPL 100 attack points are the first Asian players and the seventh for Tottenham.
With the help of Son Heung-min’s opening goal, Tottenham defeated Sheffield 3-1 and continued undefeated in 4 league games (2 wins, 2 draws). The ranking also rose to fourth place (33 victory points). In addition, Tottenham were outnumbered by 3 draws and 4 losses in the league away game against Sheffield, but they won in 8 games and about 45 years after December 1975.
