Son Heung-min and Kane 13 goals joint venture… EPL’s best combination ever

Most joint goals in one season tie… Shoulder to shoulder with’English legend’ Shearer-Serton

(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Ahn Hong-seok = Son Heung-min (29) and Harry Kane (28) were recognized as the best combination in the history of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) in the first match of the new year.

Son Heung-min and Kane jointly scored 12 goals in the 2020-2021 EPL season until December last year.

In the tactics of defensive coach Jose Mourinho, the two players took responsibility for Tottenham’s attack and unfolded a’old-time’ combination play.

When one player came down and released the attack, the other player finished it with a goal, driving goal storms every day.

Their joint goal march was stopped after Kane scored the opening goal with Son Heung-min’s help in the Crystal Palace match (1-1 draw) on the 14th of last month.

Meanwhile, Tottenham was also sluggish with only 2 draws and 2 losses since the Crystal Palace match.

The last match in 2020, the regular league match against Fulham, was postponed due to a novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19), and the Sohn Heung-min-Kane duo burned again from the first match of the new year.

Tottenham won 3-0 in the 17th round of EPL 2020-2021 against Leeds United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 2nd (Korean time).

The best highlight of this day was Son Heung-min and Kane’s’perfect compatibility’.

In the 43th minute of the first half of Tottenham’s 1-0 lead, Kane punched a penetrating pass from the right, and Son Heung-min quickly penetrated between the two opponents and went into the vacant area and shook the net with a right-footed shot from the right of the goal area.

It was their 13th joint goal this season.

Sohn Heung-min and Kane joined together with Alan Shearer-Chris Sutton, who scored 13 goals in the 1994-1995 Blackburn Rovers together, as a duo in a single season’s most goals.

Half the season, the Son-Kane duo set a tie record with the Shearer-Serton duo.

Football statistics site Opta also said through a Twitter account, “Kane and Son Heung-min have teamed up 13 goals in EPL this season. So far, no duo has teamed up more goals than Kane-Son Heung-min in a single season.”

In particular, Son Heung-min and Kane scored 33 goals in their lives on the EPL stage so far with’Combi Play’.

Frank Lampard-Die Drogba (Chelsea)’s 36 goals are the record for the most goals in all time. Son Heung-min and Kane duo are all-time second in this category.

Son Heung-min and Kane, already recognized as’World Class’, only left 3 goals until they were recognized as EPL’All Time Best’ duo.

If the pace of the first half is kept alive in the second half, Son Heung-min and Kane are expected to write a record of’joint goals’ that junior strikers cannot reach.
