Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham), who paused the scoring march while being reborn as the team’s’exclusive helper’, aims for the goal of’North London rival’ Arsenal.
Son Heung-min’s team Tottenham will play Arsenal in the 2020-2021 England Professional Football Premier League (EPL) round 28 away at 1:30 am (Korean time) on the 15th at the Emirates Stadium in London, England.
Tottenham, who had been sluggish in 6 games starting with Liverpool in the 20th round (1-3 loss) at the end of January, was on the rise again by winning three consecutive league wins against Burnley on the 28th of last month.
In the official match, he is recording 5 consecutive victories including the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League.
Tottenham, who is currently in 7th place in the EPL with 13 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses (45 points), is trying to gain momentum to enter the fourth place to advance to the UEFA Champions League next season.
The difference between current 4th place Chelsea (50 points) and 5 points, Tottenham has to diligently accumulate points in the match against Arsenal.
Arsenal is in 10th place in the league this season with 11 wins, 5 draws and 11 losses (38 points).
Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho said, “I only look up, not down,” ahead of the’North London Derby.’ “I don’t look down” he left a provocative word.
“It doesn’t matter who your opponent is or the’North London Derby’. It’s an EPL game, and we have 3 points to win,” he pledged to win.

In order to easily defeat Arsenal according to the wishes of manager Morinyu, Son Heung-min is required.
Son Heung-min is breaking his record for the most attacking points in a season (34) by writing 18 goals and 16 assists (EPL 13 goals and 9 assists) in the official game this season.
He scored a multi-help against Burnley last month and helped the goal of’best friend’ Harry Kane in the Crystal Palace on the 8th, and he shined as a’helper’ by raising 3 assists in the three regular league games.
However, the scorer is a bit quiet. After scoring a key goal in the 23rd round (2-0 wins) against West Bromwich Albion on the 7th of last month, there is no goal in his 5th game at EPL.
Even including the UEFA Europa League, we haven’t been able to deliver the news for about a month since we scored the opening goal in the first leg of the 32nd round against Wolfsberger (Austria) on the 19th of last month.
To escape without a score, Son Heung-min aims at Arsenal’s goal.
The memory of the’North London Derby’ is not bad.
Son Heung-min scored 3 goals and 4 assists in 13 Arsenal matches, but in December of last year, he played 1 goal and 1 assist’One Man Show’ in the EPL Round 11, leading Tottenham’s 2-0 victory.
At the time, he made the manager and fans cheer with’Wonder Goal’, which puts a bold right-footed kick in the corner of Arsenal’s goal near the left side of the penalty arc, aka’Son Heung-min’.
If he scored a goal against Arsenal again this time, Son Heung-min will write a tie record with the most goals (14 goals) in his EPL game.
In addition, he is one step closer to his tie record with the most goals in a season (21 goals).
