1 goal and 2 assists against Southampton, 1st place for most assists in the club
“The level we expect… “I’m proud of my colleagues.”
Son Heung-min, who led Tottenham to a 5-0 win against Southampton in the English Premier League (EPL) with one goal and two assists, expressed satisfaction, saying, “This is the level we expect.”
After winning 5-0 against Southampton in the 2024-25 EPL 16th round away game held at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton, England on the 16th (Korean time), Son Heung-min posted on his social media, “It was an appropriate result according to the team’s performance. It was. “I am proud of our colleagues,” he said.
Tottenham, who announced victory for the first time in 6 games in official competitions after a 4-0 win against Manchester City in the EPL on the 25th of last month, was ranked 10th in the league with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 7 losses (23 points). By narrowing the gap with 5th place Man City (27 points) to 4 points, they also laid the foundation for a leap forward to the upper mid-level rankings.
The key player in Tottenham’s great victory was ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min. He started as a left-wing attacker and performed well with 1 goal and 2 assists.
It has been 9 months since Son Heung-min recorded 3 attack points in one game for Tottenham since the Aston Villa match in March (1 goal, 2 assists).
In the 12th minute of the first half, when the team was ahead 1-0, Son Heung-min scored an additional goal by hitting a ball with his left foot that the opposing defender could not properly clear. He then assisted Pape Matar Sarr’s goal in the 25th minute of the first half and James Maddison’s goal in the 50th minute of the first half.
Son Heung-min, who posted two assists, recorded 68 assists in his EPL career, putting him on par with Darren Anderton, who holds the record for the most assists in the club’s EPL. If Son Heung-min adds one assist in the future, he will become Tottenham with the most assists in EPL history.
After the game, Son Heung-min received a uniform with the number ’68’ and his image as a gift from Tottenham.
Son Heung-min pledged to use the big win against Southampton as a stepping stone to leap higher. “The results today are what we expected,” he said, adding, “Now is the time to stay focused and push forward.”
Tottenham will play Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the League Cup (Carabao Cup) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 5 am on the 20th. Afterwards, they will face EPL leader Liverpool on the 23rd and fourth-place Nottingham on the 27th.
