Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) added his help and lifted his 100th offensive point in his career in the English Premier League for professional football (EPL). This is my first time as an Asian player. The scoring cannon did not explode as it was blocked by the goalpost for two consecutive games.

Son Heung-min assisted Sergio Orie with a corner kick in the first half of the 19th round 19 away match against Sheffield United at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England on the 17th (local time). It is Son Heung-min’s 18th league (12 goals and 6 assists) this season and 25th (16 goals and 9 assists) in the official game.

With this help, Son Heung-min, wearing a Tottenham uniform in 2015, entered the EPL, scored 65 goals and 35 assists in the regular league, filling 100 attacking points in the league. According to Opta, a website dedicated to football statistics, the 100 points of attack for the EPL are the first Asian players and the seventh for Tottenham.

With Son Heung-min’s first goal, Tottenham beat Sheffield 3-1 and climbed to fourth place (33 points), remaining undefeated (2 wins, 2 draws) in 4 league games. Tottenham showed tremendous slowness of 3 draws and 4 losses in the away league match against Sheffield, earning 3 valuable points after 8 matches and 45 years after December 1975.

In a situation where he ended up in a draw with Fulham, the lowest ranked team in the last round, and had been struggling in Sheffield in many ways, Tottenham hit him with a starting triple from Son Heung-min-Kane-Steven Berchbain. From the beginning. In the fourth minute of the first half, Berchbain’s right-footed shot from the right of the penalty area, after passing a pass with Kane, was stopped by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale. In the next left corner kick situation, Son Heung-min, who came out as a kicker, made the correct cross, and Orie jumped into the goal area and the ball received from his head hit the net.

Son Heung-min aimed straight for the goal, connecting Kane’s pass with an exquisite shot from the right side of the penalty area in the eighth minute of the first half, but scoring the goal left a regret. It was another ‘unlucky goal’ after Fulham’s last battle.

Tottenham led the way, but Sheffield began to crack down on Tottenham’s defense little by little as time passed. In the 29th minute of the first half, John Fleck’s pass was followed by Oliver Burke’s right-footed shot from the right of the penalty goal, and the first shot was scored in front of Loris’ goalkeeper.

However, Tottenham continued their lead in the 40th minute thanks to Kane’s extra goal. On Tottenham’s side, Emil Pierre Hoivier cut off the opposing pass, handed the ball to Son Heung-min shortly, then recovered and stabbed the pass, and Kane finished off with his right foot from the penalty goal. It’s Kane’s 12th league goal this season.

Tottenham, who had an overwhelming turnout of 61-39 in the first half, gave up little by little in the second half and allowed a header goal to David McGoldrick in the 14th minute, but three minutes later, the ‘Wonderful Goal’ of Tanggi Ndombele poured cold water into the inspiring atmosphere of Sheffield. Ndombele, who exchanged the ball with Berchbain and penetrated the left side of the penalty area, was stopped by the opponents, and an errant shot with his right leg attempted in a delicate stance struck the right corner of the goal.

With this goal, Sheffield’s will to chase was completely shattered, and Son Heung-min received a pass from Kane in the 32nd minute of the second half and again aimed at the goal with a strong left-right shot in the penalty area. , but was caught on defense. After entering extra time in the second half, Son Heung-min replaced Carlos Vinicius and left the floor.
