[로이터=연합뉴스]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Offside Nausea Son Heung-min (28), who scored ‘100 goals in Tottenham’s official match amid controversy, will re-challenge in the English Premier League (EPL) game on the weekend.
Tottenham will play an away game against Wolverhampton in the round 15 of the 2020-2021 EPL at the Molynew Stadium in Wolverhampton, England at 4:15 am (KST) on the 28th.
Tottenham, who had been leading the league in an undefeated march (7 wins, 4 draws) in 11 games from the second round, lost 1-2 to Liverpool, a defending champion in the 13th round, and lost 0-2 to Leicester City in the 14th round, losing their first straight loss this season.
In a fierce battle for the top ranks, the ranks were pushed to the 6th place (25 points) with a confrontation with rival teams one after another.
Tottenham can continue to compete for the forefront only by diligently accumulating points on the “Boxing Day” schedule, which will be held against Fulham on the 31st and Leeds United on the 2nd of next month, starting with Wolverhampton.
The fact that the opponents of the 3rd straight match are all teams outside of the top 10 in the league in their current rankings is considered an opportunity from Tottenham’s point of view, but can also act as a burden to win points.
After losing a streak in the league on the 24th, it is positive that they regained their confidence by winning 3-1 in the League Cup (Carabao Cup) quarterfinals against the second division team Stoke City on the 24th.

Wolverhampton, this time opponent, is 11th in the ranking, but has 20 points, which is not much different from Tottenham.
The recent league performance is also not very good with 1-3, but Tottenham can’t be relieved as his opponent was Chelsea, the top-ranked team when he won one victory.
A shot from Son Heung-min, a tie for second in EPL scoring (11 goals) and the league’s highest scorer in the team, is needed more than ever.
Son Heung-min remained silent in the two official matches after scoring his 14th goal this season with a goal that prevented Tottenham’s loss in the 13th round against Liverpool.
He played full-time against Leicester City, but couldn’t operate the scorer, and in the Carabao Cup quarter-final, he was substituted for the second half and shook the net once, but the goal was not recognized for the offside decision.
After joining Tottenham in August 2015, he has scored 99 goals in various competitions. This time, attention is focused on whether he will be able to complete 100 goals with the victory of the team.
Against Wolverhampton, who was promoted to the EPL in the 2018-2019 season, Son Heung-min has helped in the last two seasons, but has not tasted the goal.
