Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham), who fell into’goal silence’, had a sharp drop in power ranking.
In the weekly power rankings of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) released by Sky Sports, a UK sports broadcaster, on the 29th (Korean time), Son Heung-min ranked 75th with 3,585 points.
This is a ranking down 31 places from last week’s ranking.
SkySports ranks the power ranking by quantifying the performance of the last five games and giving weight to the recent games.
It is analyzed that the ranking declined sharply because they did not taste the goal in the two games that fell after the equalizer against Liverpool on the 17th.
Son Heung-min scored four goals against Southampton in September and climbed to the top of the power ranking several times at the beginning of the season when the’goal storm’ was hit.
Tottenham striker Harry Kane, who fell into sluggishness with Son Heung-min, also dropped significantly from 39th to 63rd.
Midfielder Tangwi Ndombele, who is struggling amid Tottenham’s recent four-game draw (2 draws, 2 losses), is in the 41st place among Tottenham players.
First place in the power rankings was goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who led Aston Villa to scoreless goals for four consecutive games.
It is the first time this season that a goalkeeper has reached number one in the power rankings.
Liverpool goalkeeper Muhammad Salach, who was number one last week, was in second place.
On the other hand, Tottenham will challenge to win only five regular league games in Round 16 Fulham, which will be held at home on the 31st.
Son Heung-min goes on hunting for the 100th goal in Fulham.
Son Heung-min, who has scored a total of 99 goals in the professional game since joining Tottenham in August 2015, has not tasted goals in three consecutive games, including the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup.
