Son Heung-min, 29, of’Super Sony’, who has shot’Tottenham No. 100′ from the beginning of the new year, is aiming for a new record again. This time, he is Asia’s first European stage scorer with 150 goals and Asia’s first English Premier League (EPL) scorer.
Son Heung-min will hunt for 150 goals on the European stage in the 2020-2021 season Carabao Cup quarterfinals with Brentford at 4:45 am on the 6th (Korean time).
On the 2nd, he scored additional goals in the 17th round of EPL with Leeds United and completed Tottenham 100 goals in 253 matches since joining Tottenham in 2015. In the 43rd minute of the first half, Son Heung-min shook the net as it was when he gently moved the cross handed over by Harry Kane from the side with his right foot. It is the 18th record in the history of Tottenham’s club and is the first player from a non-British non-English or Irish nationality.
Son Heung-min’s 100 goals were completed with 55 goals with his right foot, 41 goals with his left foot and 4 goals in the head. Son Heung-min’s appreciation doubles with an excellent sense of stealing the defender’s timing with the perfect two-legged man. Michael Owen, a former EPL star, appeared on the talk show and said, “I would have had 92 right feet and eight left feet. Son Heung-min was an incredible player with both feet.”
In addition, only one penalty kick out of Son Heung-min’s 100 goals. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), the current EPL scoring leader, is also penalized with 5 out of 13 goals, and Son Heung-min’s 12 goals this season are all field goals.
Son Heung-min also decorated the 149th goal in the European stage with this goal. If you add one more goal, you will be the first in Asia to score 150 goals in the Premier League.
In particular, it became possible to join the competition for the title of the scorer. Son Heung-min is currently in the second place in scoring alone and is closely pursuing Salah (13 goals) with one goal. It is also the first in Asia to become the scorer.
Son Heung-min also takes on a meaningful record challenge with his best friend Kane. The two teamed up 13 league goals this season alone. In the 1994-1995 season, Alan Shearer-Chris Sutton tied the record for the most joint goal in one season of EPL.
In addition, Chelsea legend Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard (36 goals) have reached the highest EPL joint goal by three goals. Sohn-Ke Duo, who has scored 33 goals at the moment, is a tie if they collaborate with three more goals, and four goals are a new record. Reporter Jo Beomja
