Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) led the opponent’s own goal and led Tottenham Hotspur’s second straight victory in the English professional football Premier League (EPL).
Tottenham won a 1-0 away game against Fulham in EPL Round 33 in the 2020-2021 season held at Craven Cottage in London, England on the 5th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min, who came out as a starter and played full-time, took the lead in winning the team with active movements such as inducing an opponent’s own goal with a sharp cross.
Son Heung-min is scoring 13 goals and 8 assists in the regular league this season. In all competitions, he is scoring 18 goals and 15 assists.
Tottenham, who defeated Burnley 4-0 on the 28th of last month and escaped from a losing streak, ran two straight victories over Fulham that day. He also broke the chain of 3 consecutive defeats in the expedition.
This led Tottenham’s 12 wins, 6 draws and 8 losses (42 points) to remain in eighth place in the league.
Coach Jose Mourinho put Harry Kane in the forefront and sent Ali and Gareth Bale with Son Heung-min as the starters in the second line of attack.
In the 19th minute of the first half, Ali, who was flooding with a cross attempted by Son Heung-min from the flank, changed direction and scored.
Initially, this score was recorded as Ali’s first goal in the league following Son Heung-min’s help in the league, but it was later corrected by Fulham’s Toshin Adaravioyo’s own goal.
In the 17th minute of the second half of the second half, Josie Maja broke the goal of Tottenham, but the score was not recognized as Remina’s handball foul was pointed out before a video reading (VAR).
Tottenham passed the crisis and had a few extra goals, but ended the game with a 1-0 victory without any further goals.
