Son Heung-Min sweeps Tottenham fan’s season finale awards

Tottenham Hotspur finished their last home game of the season on Sunday with an emphatic 3-0 victory over Leicester City. The last home game is usually an opportunity for players to express their appreciation to local fans for their excellent support throughout the season and to host fan awards at the end of the season, but COVID has meant that there have been no fans in The stadium since soccer was restarted in June.

But the show must go on and supporters’ awards were presented after Sunday’s game. And all of them, each one, went to Son Heung-Min.

In a season that saw Harry Kane lose significant time with a hamstring injury, Sonny stepped in to fill the gap both in terms of scoring and leadership. Sonny has scored 18 goals and scored 13 assists in the last game of the season against Crystal Palace, none better than the 90-yard goal he scored against Burnley. You should see the video clip in that tweet because he admits that while that goal required “a lot of luck,” he sometimes also sees it before he goes to sleep at night. Which is just adorable. Sonny is the best.

Kane may have scored more goals than Sonny, Hugo has been better since the restart, but it is hard to argue that Sonny has been Tottenham’s best overall player this season. These awards are well deserved and I cannot argue with any of them.
