‘2 Help’ selected as KOTM, surpassing the veil of Son Heung-min … Season 8

[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) beat Gareth Bale as the best player in the game.

Tottenham finished 15th out of Burnley 4-0. Tottenham (39 points) jumped to eighth place and narrowed the gap to sixth place Liverpool (40 points).

From the beginning of the game, Son Heung-min’s toes shone. In the second minute of the first half, a veil flooded the cross that Son Heung-min lifted near the left outside the box and broke the net with his right foot. Son Heung-min’s vision, path, and momentary veil penetration glowed.

Tottenham, who brought the cheer early, scored their second goal in the 15th minute for Harry Kane. In the 31st minute of the first half, Lucas Moura took the lead by three points.

In the second half, Son Heung-min continued working. Son Heung-min delivered the ball exactly at the feet of Bale, who spilled over to the right with a front pass in a counterattack situation in the 10th minute of the second half. Bale rocked the net with an elaborate left-handed shot inside the area.

Son Heung-min, who earned two assists while running full time, showed disinterest throughout the game. Instead of breaking unreasonable dribbles, he provided opportunities for well-positioned colleagues. Although there were no goals, he had an impressive performance recording 7 key passes. The Whoscore Statistical Media gave Son Heung-min the second highest rating of 8.9 points on the team.

Son Heung-min, who had great success, was selected as the best player in the game.
