Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) scored his 11th league goal this season, scoring his first goal in four months in the English Premier League (EPL).

Hwang Hee-chan hit the net with a right-footed shot from inside the opponent’s penalty box in the 39th minute of the 2023-2024 EPL home game against Luton on the 27th. It was his 11th league goal in four months since the game against Brentford on December 28 last year, when he scored multiple goals. Hwang Hee-chan was selected for the Asian Cup national team in January this year, but was unable to play from March to mid-April due to a thigh injury. This season he has only appeared in 26 of Wolverhampton’s 35 EPL matches. Hwang Hee-chan, who played full-time against Luton and contributed to the team’s 2-1 win, was selected as ‘Man of the Match (MOM)’, the best player of the game. Wolverhampton won after 7 games.

Hwang Hee-chan, who is in his third year since his EPL debut, increased his total league goals to 19, becoming tied for second place on the EPL scoring list among Korean players along with Park Ji-sung (retired). Park Ji-sung played eight seasons in the EPL. Topping this category is Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who is in his ninth season and has scored 118 goals. Hwang Hee-chan scored 5 goals in the 2021-2022 season, his debut year, and only 3 goals last season.

Lee Kang-in of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) helped prevent the team’s defeat by recording an assist on Gonzalo Hamus’ header that made the score 3-3 in extra time in the second half of the French Ligue 1 home game against Le Havre on the 28th. It was Lee Kang-in’s third assist in the league this season. PSG, who has 70 points, needs to add just one point in the remaining three games this season to achieve its third consecutive league victory. As of the 28th, second place AS Monaco (58 points) has 4 games remaining.
