When Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham) fell silent, the competition for the scorer in the English Premier League (EPL) became more intense.
Son Heung-min played full time in the 2020-2021 EPL round 14 home match against Leicester City played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 20th (KST), but failed as expected. Tottenham’s 100th goal.
Son Heung-min is scoring 11 league goals (4 assists) this season, and has scored a total of 14 goals (7 assists) in the European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League. In addition, he has scored 99 goals in the official match since joining Tottenham in 2015 by scoring against Liverpool.
Sohn Heung-min, who only had one goal left until Tottenham’s 100th goal, throws the ball from the other side to Toby Alderweireld’s header on the corner kick opportunity in the 36th minute in the second half and hits the ball with his right foot, but was blocked by the opponent’s save Kasper Schmeichel.
While Son Heung-min was unable to seek a goal, the rivals struck horribly.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (13 goals), the EPL’s scoring leader as of the 21st, continued his upward trend after scoring four straight games in December.
Starting with Wolverhampton (1 goal), Fulham (1 goal), Tottenham (1 goal) and Crystal Palace (2 goals) all scored.
Salah has been ranked as the EPL’s top scorer twice in the 2017-2018 season and the 2018-2019 season. He’s in charge of Liverpool’s penalty taker this season, which is very advantageous in the scoring competition.
Along with Salah, three players, including Son Heung-min, Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) and Jamie Bard (Leicester City), are scoring 11 goals.
Calbert-Lewin, who has competed with Son Heung-min since the start of the season, scored seven goals in five games after the start, but the scoring pace has slowed recently. No goals in the third game since the match against Burnley on the 5th.
As the two players stalled, Body, last season’s top scorer, added. Body, who scored the winning goal on penalty against Tottenham, stood shoulder to shoulder with Son Heung-min and Calbert-Lewin with 11 goals.
The persecution of the group tied for fifth is also fierce.
Bruno Fernandez, Harry Kane (Tottenham) and Patrick Bamford (Leeds United) of Manchester United follow closely with nine goals.
Among them, Fernández has an excellent sense of goal even as a midfielder, scoring multiple goals in the game against Leeds United.
