Son Heung-min, who returned from injury a week, put on an outstanding ‘two goals and one assist’ performance.
Son Heung-min scored a multiple goal and an assist only in the first half in an away match against Manchester United in the 2020-2021 English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) fourth round held at 0:30 on the 5th (Korean time) at Old Trafford in Manchester, England. He led Tottenham Hotspur’s victory 6-1.
Son Heung-min, who scored the fifth and sixth league goals one after another, took the lead on the scoreboard with Everton FC’s Dominic Calbert-Lewin. He also achieved 10 points of attack in the season (7 goals and 3 assists) in 6 games.
The game was in the form of a slug from the beginning. Tottenham scored the first goal for Manchester United in the second minute of the first half. When Antony Masial crossed the right flank of the penalty area, he tripped over Davinson Sánchez’s leg. The referee declared a penalty and Bruno Fernandes calmly scored the goal.
Tottenham, who fell 0-1, immediately pursued him. After a throw-in in the first half of minute 4, Tangwi Ndombele equalized with a left-footed shot in a situation where there was a mess.
Three minutes later, Son Heung-min scored a substitution goal. Harry Kane, who received a header pass from Son Heung-min near the center line, quickly sent a free kick to Son Heung-min after being fouled. Sohn Heung-min, rushing into the space behind the defense at high speed, rocked the net with a clean shot with goalkeeper David de Gea in front.
In the 25th minute of the first half, a long pass from Eric Lamela carried Son Heung-min, but the catch dragged on and the shot missed.
In the first 28 minutes a variable occurred. Man U Marsial, fighting for a seat in Tottenham’s corner kick situation, hit Lamela’s face and knocked her down, and the referee judged it as a deliberate act and produced a red card. Lamela was warned for having committed the crime.
Tottenham, who had a numerical advantage, launched an attack. In the 30th minute of the first half, Tottenham intercepted the ball on a Manchester United defensive error, and Son Heung-min correctly passed it to Kane. Kane snapped the net with a nonstop shot and extended the score to 3-1.
In the 37th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min again scored a goal. Serzu Orier, who went through the opponent’s right flank, hit a cross ground ball, and Son Heung-min, who was in a hurry, changed direction with his right foot and scored.
After finishing the first half 4-1, Tottenham scored an extra goal in the sixth minute of the second half. Serge Orier, who received a penetrating pass from Pierre Emile Hoivier, opened the goal with a powerful shot.
Tottenham, who took a generous lead at 5-1, played a quiet game while spinning the ball, and Manchester United, who struggled with 10 people, collapsed without any other chances. Son Heung-min left the field after being replaced by Ben Davis in the 28th minute of the second half. Davies, who was substituted, scored a penalty in the 32nd minute of the second half, and Kane, who played the kicker, finished confidently to score the team’s sixth goal.
