Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) from Chuncheon, who has scored goals in the last three consecutive matches, is challenging his team for five consecutive victories against Brighton and his league record for most goals in a season.
Tottenham Hotspur will play against Brighton & Hove Albion at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 16th at 8:30 pm (Korea time), the 2021-2022 English Premier League (EPL) Round 33 home match.
Tottenham Hotspur need to win this match to keep their 4th place in the league.
Tottenham Hotspur, who are on an upward trend with a recent four-game winning streak, are in an advantageous position with 57 points and 4th place, the marginal line for the UEFA Champions League (UCL) next season. Brighton are currently 11th in the league with 37 points.
This match is very important to Son Heung-min himself.
Heung-Min Son has scored goals in the last three matches and is showing his best sense of goal.
On the 21st of last month, he scored a multi-goal against West Ham (Tottenham 3-1 win), and on the 4th of this month, he led the team to a 5-1 victory with one goal and one assist against Newcastle United.
On the 10th, he scored three goals against Aston Villa and recorded his second hat-trick in his career after entering the Premier League.
Heung-Min Son, who scored 17 goals in the last season and tied the record for most goals in a regular season in a season, will write a new record if he scores in this match.
At the same time, the record for the most goals scored by a Korean player in a European league in a single season was surpassed by former national team coach Cha Beom-geun, who scored 17 goals in the 1985-1986 season with Leverkusen, Germany.
Heung-Min Son is closely behind Mohammed Salah (Liverpool, 20 goals), who is the top scorer in the competition for the top scorer. Attack points (23 points) are also ranked second in the league after Salah (31 points). If Son Heung-min maintains a scoring pace in the remaining matches, it is worth aiming for the first Asian top scorer. There are 7 matches remaining until the end of the regular season.
In addition, Son Heung-min, who scored 18 goals (17 EPL goals, 1 UEFA Europa Conference League) in the official game this season, adds 4 goals in the remaining matches, and his highest number of goals in a season (22 goals) set in the 2020-2021 season (22 goals) and tie make up
