Son Heung-min contributed to a 4-0 victory by scoring a key goal in the 2022-23 English Premier League (EPL) round 19 away match against Crystal Palace held at Selhurst Park in London, England on the 5th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min, who started as a second-line striker and showed light movements, left a regret when he failed to score a goal with a 1-on-1 chance with the goalkeeper in the 22nd minute of the second half.
However, the opportunity that came back five minutes later did not miss it. When the opposing defender failed to properly kick the ball Harry Kane connected from the rear and flowed, Son Heung-min rushed in and finished it with his left foot.
Son Heung-min cheered as he took off his mask and threw it away after scoring. His teammates also congratulated Son Heung-min, who had a goal after a long time, and rejoiced together.
As a result, Son Heung-min played as a substitute in the match against Leicester on September 18 last year and achieved a hat-trick, then scored in the 9th EPL game and reported the 4th goal in the league. He also scored a goal for the first time in a game he started this season.
Tottenham, who lost 0-2 after a disappointing match against Aston Villa in the previous round, struggled for the first half of the 45 minutes with a bad start. He faced several crises as he was repeatedly pierced by Palace’s Wilfred Zaha and Michael Olise, who had good personal skills.
Fortunately, Tottenham, who kept the first half scoreless while preventing the conceding crisis well, launched a counterattack in the second half.
In the 3rd minute of the second half, Ivan Perisic passed a cross from the left flank, and Kane jumped up and headed it into the net.
Tottenham, who increased their momentum, scored an additional goal six minutes later. From the right wing, Brian Hill made an accurate pass to Kane in front of goal. Kane scored his second goal with a shot from the corner of the goal.
Kane, who scored multiple goals, scored his 15th goal in the league, narrowing the gap with Elling Holland (Manchester City, 21 goals), the sole leader in scoring, to 6 goals.
As Palace counterattacked and raised their defensive line, Tottenham seized an opportunity by attacking the space behind them and scored a key goal in the 23rd minute of the second half. Son Heung-min’s pass from the right flank hit the opponent’s defender and headed in front of Matt Doherty. Doherty calmly scored a shot and a goal.
Tottenham, who scored a whopping 4 goals and won in 3 league games, narrowed the gap with 4th place Manchester United (11 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses, 35 points) to 2 points as they recorded 10 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses (33 points).
On the other hand, Palace, which was defeated at home, stayed in 12th place with 6 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses (22 points).
