Reporter Kwon Hyuk-jin = It turned out that it was a’help hat-trick’. Son Heung-min, who plays for England’s professional football Tottenham Hotspur, scored three assists in his first match after his professional debut.
Son Heung-min played in the round of 16 of the 2020-2021 English Football Association (FA) Cup against Everton at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England on the 11th (Korean time) and led the attack. Unfortunately, the team lost 4-5 after overtime.
Son Heung-min completed the mission with 2 help.
It was admitted that he helped Davinson Sanchez’s header goal with an accurate corner kick 4 minutes after the start of the game, and he delivered a cross to his best friend Harry Kane after defeating the defender from the left flank in the 38th minute of the second half with a 3-4 loss.
However, after the game, the BBC and others revised Son Heung-min’s help record from ‘2’ to ‘3’.
His goal through pass play with Eric Lamela in the first half extra time was corrected with the help of Son Heung-min. Before heading to Lamela, Son Heung-min’s pass hit the defender’s body and bends, so it wasn’t caught with help at first, but was corrected later.
With the record revision, Son Heung-min belatedly tasted the joy of his first help hat-trick. With 17 goals and 13 assists in the season, he was shoulder to shoulder with his most attacking points in a season (18 goals and 12 assists) in the 2019-2020 season. If you score a goal or help in the remaining games, you will write a new history.
