Son Heung-min and Kane’Sonke Duo’ took the lead in escaping the losing streak of English professional football Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham won 1-0 with Harry Kane’s winning goal following the help of Son Heung-min in the 2022-2023 season English Premier League (EPL) round 21 away match against Fulham held at Craven Cottage in London, England on the 24th (Korean time).
So far, Tottenham’s record has not been good. In the 20th round Arsenal and the ‘North London Derby’, they were defeated 0-2, and in the 7th round match, they led Manchester City 2-0 and lost 2-4. Even though the main center back Christian Romero returned from a hamstring injury, the three-back defense, which is still unstable, and the poor coordination between the midfield and attackers were pointed out as the reasons for Tottenham’s sluggishness.
Even in the match against Fulham on this day, Tottenham did not properly solve these problems. Even in the first half of the first half, the opponent’s simple attack with a cross faced a crisis that was close to conceding several times. Even though Kane sometimes came down to the midfield and tried to open up the attack, it was seldom that a clean pass was connected to the front.
The anxiety of losing three straight games, the most this season, only grew.
However, Tottenham had a secret weapon, ‘Sonke Duo’. Son Heung-min’s pass and Kane’s finish sparkled in the 46th minute of the first half, when Tottenham rode the tide and drove the opponent’s camp. Son Heung-min received the ball from the left side of the penalty mark in the 46th minute and passed it to Kane in the center, who fired a right-footed turning shot into the right edge of the goal. 메이저놀이터
Their joint goal, which was equivalent to Tottenham’s ‘scoring formula’, gave Tottenham a victory in only three games. Son Heung-min and Kane, who hold the record for the most joint goals in EPL history, increased this record to 44 goals. In all official matches, 51 goals were combined.
The goal that day was also a historic goal for Tottenham. He stood shoulder to shoulder with Jimmy Greaves, who reigned as the top goalscorer in the 1950s and 1960s.
From 2011, when he made his professional debut, to this day, Kane scored 266 goals in 412 official matches at Tottenham alone. He scored 199 goals in the regular league, 22 goals in cup competitions in England, and 45 goals in European competitions. Of these, 27 goals were scored with the help of Son Heung-min. Without Son Heung-min, who scored 1 out of 10 goals with quality passes, it is very likely that Kane’s achievement would have been delayed.
On the football statistics website WhoScored.com, Kane scored 7.6 points, the highest score tied with Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, who made several saves. He was also selected as the best player in the match (Man of the Match · MOTM) by fan vote.
Son Heung-min received a moderate rating of 6.7 points. In an interview with a broadcaster after the game, Kane said, “After losing the last two games, I got three really important points.” do,” he said.
