Son Heung-min (32) delivered a pleasant impression of scoring.
Tottenham came from behind to win 3-1 against Crystal Palace in the 27th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 3rd (Korea time). Tottenham is now in fifth place with 50 points (15 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses). Fourth-place Aston Villa (55 points) also failed to narrow the gap with Luton Town by winning 3-2.

On the same day, Son Heung-min replaced Hishalisson, who left due to injury, as the front-line striker. Timo Werner, James Maddison and Dejan Klusevski were in the second line. Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma formed the midfield. Destiny Udogi, Mickey Vanderben, Christian Romero and Emerson Royal were in the four-back. Goalkeeper gloves were worn by Guglielmo Vicario.

Son scored his third goal to secure victory in the 43rd minute of the second half when his team was leading 2-1. The goal came in about two months after the game against Bournemouth on Dec. 31 last year. Son had left Tottenham to play in the 2023 Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Qatar Asian Cup from January to early February. During the period, Son could not play in five official matches for Tottenham.

"We got three points. This is the most important point," Son said in an interview after the match. "We were lacking in some things, but I think our teammates really played a lot and showed our own performance." Son added, "We gave up the first goal but we still performed our performance. And we won the game."
He began to praise Werner, who scored his EPL debut goal. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Johnson penetrated into the box from the left side and crossed a low cross, and Werner put his right foot in the shot to finish.

"In the first half, Palace played down the line. It seems that the tactic worked until the beginning of the second half. But we only needed one chance. Werner took advantage of the opportunity to score the equalizer," Son said.

Asked if he was happy about Werner's first goal, the host said, "I'm really happy. Werner is a really hard-working guy. He will score more goals in the future," but joked, "I would have played an easier game if I had scored in the first half."

Son emphasized that Werner has the ability to score more goals. "When I miss a good chance, I feel like the world has turned its back on me. However, Werner did not give up and showed fantastic movement. Fans are expecting more goals from Werner. So, I hope Werner does not settle for this goal and scores more."

He also continued to praise Johnson. "Johnson gave two assists today, and I love him. I love him," Son said in a surprise confession. "I always want to help Johnson. Even before the game, I advised Johnson to always be ready. It was a play we needed, and he did a great job."
Son had an explosive sprint when he caught the ball near the center line at the end of the second half, creating a one-on-one situation with the opposing goalkeeper. He shook the net with a right footed shot that deceived the direction of the goalkeeper. After the ceremony, Son roared..

When asked how to keep calm in a one-on-one situation, he said, "I look calm, that's not the case," drawing laughter. "I had a hard time as I ran 50 meters. However, I calmly controlled the ball and focused on shooting. I shot to the corner as much as I could," he said. "I moved to prevent the goalkeeper from blocking me. If he had blocked me, I would have received a red card."

Finally, Son Heung-min finished the interview, saying, "I am so happy to return from the Asian Cup and receive congratulations from Tottenham fans."

According to soccer statistics media "Foot Mob," Son hit as many as five times on the day. He also recorded key passes that gave chances to teammates three times. However, he failed to post an assist as his teammates failed to score a critical pass.
Another statistical news outlet called "Huscoord Dotcom" also named Son as the "Man of the Match" (MOM), giving him an 8.1, the only eight-point range among the two teams. Johnson, who posted two assists, followed Son with a 7.8.

Of course, it was Son Heung-min's job to get the highest score. The "footmob" gave Son 8.6, the highest score among the players of both teams. This was followed by Werner and Madison with 8.3. Tottenham had a total of four players including Son Heung-min, Werner, Madison, Bissouma, and Romero in the eight-point range.

Sky Sports in the U.K. also gave Son a highest rating of 8. Son and Eze were the only players from the two teams who received a rating of 8.
England's "Football London" also gave the highest score of 8 to Son Heung-min, Bissouma, Vanderben, and Romero. "Son Heung-min, who was in charge of the front line, created a good opportunity for Werner in the first half. In the second half, he connected Klosevski's pass with a shot and hit the net. In the end, Son scored a goal," he said.

Son Heung-min, who scored his 13th goal in the league, tied for sixth in the scoring category, matching Bukayo Saka of Arsenal. He also narrowed the gap with Erling Holland of Manchester City to four goals.
