English Premier League (EPL) legend Gary Lineker praised Son Heung-min for scoring his 100th goal in the league.
Tottenham Hotspur won 2-1 against Brighton in the 30th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th at 11:00 pm (Korean time). With this victory, 5th place Tottenham (53 points) laid the foundation for recapturing the TOP4.
The main character of the day was also Son Heung-min. In the 10th minute of the first half, Ivan He received a pass from Perisic and then calmly looked for an opportunity. After creating an angle in the gap in Brighton’s defense, he shot without delay. The ball drew a beautiful trajectory and went straight into the Brighton goal.
Brighton also fought back. In the 34th minute of the first half, from a corner kick chance, Lewis Dunk chased the equalizer. After entering the second half, Tottenham ran away. In the 34th minute of the second half, after an attack through Son Heung-min and Pierre-Emile Hoivier, Harry Kane shook the net and took the lead. 메이저사이트
In the end, Tottenham defeated Brighton and sounded the victory. Son Heung-min, the protagonist of the opening goal, completed a great record of ‘EPL’s 100th goal’. Lineker, who spent his career as a player at Everton, Leicester City, Barcelona, and Tottenham, left a tribute to Son Heung-min.
According to England’s ‘HITC’, Lineker said, “Son Heung-min scored the EPL’s 100th goal. It was an amazing achievement and a lucky victory for Tottenham.” He added, “I pay tribute to Son Heung-min. The same goes for Kane. What would Tottenham be like without these two players?”
British public broadcaster ‘BBC’ also said, “Son Heung-min is undoubtedly the first global superstar in Asian football. After leaving Leverkusen in August 2015 to join Tottenham, he humbled himself and blossomed into one of the best players in the world. There was a steely determination behind the smile, and it became a piece of history,” he said, praising Son Heung-min, who left a mark on the EPL stage.
The challenge continues. Now, Son Heung-min is aiming for double-digit EPL scores for seven consecutive seasons. Against Bournemouth facing relegation crisis in the next round, we challenge for two consecutive goals.
