Soccer fans are drawing attention to whether Son Heung-min can score a goal at Tottenham vs Liverpool in a showdown with the championship candidate.
Son Heung-min’s team, Tottenham, will play Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 17th at 5am (KST) against Liverpool in Round 13 of the English Professional Soccer Premier League (EPL) 2020-2021. The two teams are considered strong candidates for the championship this season, and this is their first meeting this season.
Tottenham and Liverpool currently have 7 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss (25 points) side by side in the Premier League, but Tottenham (+14) are ahead of the goal-defeat, beating Liverpool (+9) to take first place. .
For Tottenham, it is a golden opportunity to solidify the unique leadership system. Tottenham will face Leicester City (24 points), which currently ranks third on the weekend after Liverpool. If you get 6 points in these two games and follow the ‘Boxing Day’ calendar at the end of the year, the chances of Tottenham winning the First Division in 59 years and the third time in history will increase.
Tottenham is far inferior to Liverpool in total. After winning a 4-1 win over Liverpool in the regular league match at home in October 2017, they never won a head-to-head match. In particular, they lost all five games against Liverpool, including the final of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League in the 2018-2019 season. Furthermore, Liverpool are undefeated (54-11) in 65 league games at Anfield.
But now Liverpool are not in full force due to frequent player injuries. In particular, Firgil Pandayk and Joe Gomes were “ tired ” due to knee injuries, and even Joel Matif seemed to be having a hard time playing for Tottenham due to a back injury. This is a good situation for Son Heung-min to play an active role.
However, Son Heung-min was exceptionally poor against Liverpool. He only scored one goal in nine games. After scoring the only goal in regular league play in October 2017, he hasn’t tasted a goal in more than three years. Until last season, Son Heung-min was rarely able to break through Liverpool’s strong defense, centered on Pandayk.
While Liverpool’s defense has been sluggish this season, the Son Heung-min striker has already gotten fiercer, scoring 10 league goals this season. If you add a combined play with Harry Kane, Tottenham’s conquest of Anfield is not impossible.
Even for Son Heung-min, the stakes are high in Liverpool. Son Heung-min, second in the goal rankings (10 goals) after Dominic Calvert Ruin (11 goals, Everton), can regain the lead by scoring this time. Also, if you score 2 goals, you will build Tottenham’s 100th goal in total.
If he and Kane score the 13th joint goal in the league this season, the EPL’s single-season joint goal record will be rewritten in 25 years. The current record is held by the Alan Shearer-Chris Stern duo, who jointly scored 13 goals for Blackburn Rovers from 1994-1995. Blackburn won this season.
