Son Heung-min (32), the “captain” of Tottenham Hotspur in the English professional football Premier League (EPL), scored his first and second goals of the season all at once in two games.
Son Heung-min started the home game against Everton in the second round of the 2024-25 EPL at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 24th (Korea time), and in the 25th minute of the first half, when his team was leading 1-0, he intercepted the ball of opposing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and lightly cut Everton’s goal with his right foot.
Tottenham, which scored Son Heung-min’s additional goal following Bissouma’s first goal in the 14th minute of the first half, finished the first half 2-0 ahead, making the game more relaxed.
Son added his second goal in the second half. When his team was leading 3-0 with Romero’s third goal, van der Penn calmly kicked the ball to Son on the left side with his left foot to complete the second goal.
Son Heung-min, who is in his 10th season in the Premier League, scored his 121st and 122nd goals at once since entering the league against Everton, beating Romero Lukaku (currently AS Roma) to rank 21st in the league’s all-time scoring rankings.
Tottenham, which had a draw with Leicester City, the promotion team in the opening match, won 4-0 on the day to win its first victory of the season. 메이저사이트
Son Heung-min was criticized by some local media for his elaborate play, including ball-touch mistakes in the opening match against Leicester City, but showed off his unique fast feet and goal-scoring ability in the very next game.
Son was also named the man of the match. Having scored 17 goals in the last season, Son added two goals in two matches this season, raising expectations for him to achieve double-digit goals in the league for nine consecutive seasons.
