1 goal and 2 assists in the previous match against Newcastle Expectations for great success
Son Heung-min
Tottenham’s ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) aims for Newcastle’s goal in an important match to secure fourth place.
Tottenham will play an away game against Newcastle in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 EPL at St. James Park in Newcastle, England, starting at 8:30 pm (Korean time) on the 13th.
Tottenham is in 4th place in the EPL with 60 points (goal difference +20) this season.
As they continue to compete fiercely with Aston Villa (60 points, +17 goal difference) for 4th place, which is the Maginot line for advancing to the UEFA Champions League, each game is like a sheet of thin ice.
After this game, a tough schedule awaits Tottenham, including Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool, so 3 points against Newcastle, which is lower in 8th place (47 points), feels even more urgent.
Tottenham won 4-1 in the first match of the season against Newcastle in the 16th round last December, supported by Son Heung-min’s outstanding performance at the time. 파워볼사이트
In that game, Son Heung-min kicked his own penalty kick in the 40th minute of the second half, exceeding the double-digit score for the season, and led the way to victory by providing two assists.
Son Heung-min, who gave an important win to a team that had been struggling with no wins in 5 games (1 draw, 4 losses) at the time and laid the foundation for continuing the race for 4th place, is in good form recently, so expectations are high for his performance in this game as well.
In the last 6 league games, he has played mostly full-time, scoring 3 goals and providing 3 assists.
In the previous game against Nottingham Forest, he contributed to the team’s 3-1 win by assisting Mickey van der Pen’s winning goal in the 7th minute of the second half.
Including this, Son Heung-min’s accumulated attack points in the league this season are 15 goals and 9 assists.
In terms of goals, he is tied for 6th place, 4 goals behind leader Erling Holland (Manchester City, 19 goals), and in assists, he is tied for 4th place, just one behind the three joint leaders (10 goals), including Pascal Gross (Brighton). The possibility of competing for an individual title is also quite open.
In particular, if Son Heung-min adds just one assist, he will surpass double digits in assists following his goals this season, scoring 10 goals for the third time in his career following the 2019-2020 season (11 goals, 10 assists) and the 2020-2021 season (17 goals, 10 assists). This is also a point of interest as 10 assists were achieved.
There are currently 5 players who have scored 10 goals and 10 assists more than 3 times in a season in the EPL: Wayne Rooney (5 times), Eric Cantona, Frank Lampard (4 times), Muhammad Salah, and Didier Drogba (3 times). As a result, Son Heung-min is aiming to become the 6th protagonist. 한국야동
