The English Premier League website also described Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham Hotspur) as a ‘fatal finisher’.

The Premier League website highlighted the English Premier League top scorer race for the 2021-2022 season through the website on the 29th (Korean time).

With 8-11 matches remaining per team, Mohammed Salah (Liverpool) leads the team with 20 goals. After the 2018-2019 season when he scored 22 goals, he will return to the top scorer for the first time in three years. Heung-min Son and Diogo Jota (Liverpool) are behind Salah with 13 goals, while Harry Kane (Tottenham), Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United) and Sadio Mane (Liverpool) are following with 12 goals.

The Premier League analyzed the strengths of its competitors by presenting various figures. The Premier League’s top scorer contenders include Salah, Jota, Son Heung-min, and Kane.

The Premier League said, “Heung-Min Son is the most lethal finisher in the Golden Boot (scorer) competition.” “The conversion rate (shooting goal conversion ratio) fell to 27.1% from 32.1% last season, but he is still number one in the Premier League. Likewise, 13 goals were scored without penalty kicks.”

2nd place in conversion rate is Jota with 25%, 3rd place is Salah with 23%, and 4th place is Mane with 22.6%. Ronaldo is followed by 19.4% in fifth place.

He also introduced that he was strong at home and after the 15th minute of the second half.

The Premier League said, “I have scored 10 goals in home games this season. No player has scored more goals in home games than Son Heung-min. 38% of Tottenham Hotspur Stadium goals were made by Son Heung-min.” “Ronaldo also 9 at Old Trafford We score goals and we have the same possession.”

He continued, “Son Heung-min is more dangerous in the second half, with 8 out of 13 goals coming after 60 minutes. When the opponent space opens in the second half, a counterattack in the style of coach Antonio Conte takes place, and at that time Son Heung-min is a destructive existence. Heung-Min Son’s strength is also Kane’s ability to come down and work together. The two collaborated for 39 goals, the most in Premier League history, and Kane delivered four assists this season as well.”

Heung-Min Son and Salah have scored the most goals since 60 minutes. Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) are next with six goals.
