Son Heung-min started the match against Tottenham Hotspur on the 4th (Korea time), but was replaced without scoring a goal. Son Heung-min records 99 goals in his personal career in the English Premier League (EPL), and the task of achieving 100 goals has been postponed.
On this day, Tottenham played Everton at Goodison Park in Liverpool in the 29th round of the Premier League in the 2022/23 season and won 1-1.
Tottenham, who were goalless in the first half, gained an advantage in numbers when Everton were sent off in the 13th minute of the second half. After 10 minutes, Harry Kane, ‘Son Heung-min’s best friend’ managed to score a penalty kick to make it 1-0.
However, Lucas Moura, who was substituted for Son Heung-min in the 37th minute of the second half, was sent off for a deep tackle in the 43rd minute of the second half, just six minutes later. Both teams had 10 men each on the ground, and Everton equalized in the 45th minute of the second half to draw level.
Son Heung-min started as a left striker, but could not shoot until he was replaced by Moura. There was also an analysis that the position in the team overlapped and focused on defense. As a result, Son Heung-min will challenge for the next record of 100 EPL goals.
Son Heung-min was the only player on both teams to wear a black armband. This appears to be due to the death of his maternal grandfather.
On the 1st, the news of Son Heung-min’s maternal grandfather passed away. Son Heung-min played for the national team against Uruguay on the 28th of last month and then left through Incheon International Airport on the 30th.
Meanwhile, Tottenham are level with Newcastle and Manchester United with 50 points on the day. However, according to goal difference, they conceded 3rd place to Newcastle and came 4th. Tottenham have played two more games than Manchester United, so it is seen that there is a great possibility that they will be pushed out of fourth place in the future.
