Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham, photo) added help and raised his 100th offensive point in his career in the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL).
The scoring cannon did not burst as it was blocked by the goal post for two consecutive games.
Son Heung-min assisted Sergio Orie with a 5-minute corner kick in the away game against Sheffield United in the 2020-2021 EPL round 19 held at Brammall Lane in Sheffield, England on the 17th.
This season, Son Heung-min’s 18th (12 goals and 6 assists) in the league, and the 25th (16 goals and 9 assists) in the official match.
With this help, Son Heung-min, wearing a Tottenham uniform in 2015, entered the EPL, scored 65 goals and 35 assists in the regular league, filling 100 attack points in the league.
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 opening goal set by Son Heung-min, Tottenham defeated Sheffield 3-1 and rose to fourth place (33 points), continuing undefeated (2 wins, 2 draws) in 4 league games.
In the fourth minute of the first half, Tottenham passed a pass with Kane, and a right-footed shot from the right side of the penalty arc was saved by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
In the following left corner kick situation, Son Heung-min, who played as the kicker, scored the correct cross, and Orie jumped in the goal area and the ball received from his head shook the goal net and became the first goal.
Son Heung-min directly aimed for the goal by connecting Kane’s pass with an exquisite chip shot from the right side of the penalty area in the 8th minute of the first half, but hitting the goal left a regret. It was another’goal bad luck’ following the last Fulham battle.
Tottenham led the flow and Kane scored an extra goal in the 40th minute.
In Tottenham’s side, Emil-Pierre Hoivier cut the opposing pass, handed the ball to Son Heung-min shortly, then took it back and stabbed it, and Kane finished with his right foot in the penalty arc. It is Kane’s 12th league goal this season.
Tottenham, who gave up 61-39 in the first half of the game, gave David McGoldrick a heading goal in the 14th minute of the second half, but three minutes later, Tanggi Ndombele’s’Wonder Goal’ struck Sheffield’s inspiring atmosphere .
Son Heung-min was replaced by Carlos Vinicius after the team kept the lead by two goals and entered extra time in the second half. yunhap news
