Tottenham win 4-1 over Wolfsberger in the first leg of the Europa League round of 32
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Jang Bo-in = Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) scored the 18th goal in the season, rewriting his record for the most attacking points in a season.
Son Heung-min started off in the first leg of the 2020-2021 European Football Federation (UEFA) Europa League round of 32 with Wolfsberger (Austria) held at the Pushkasi Arena in Budapest, Hungary on the 19th (Korean time). He scored the opening goal, leading Tottenham’s 4-1 victory.
While Harry Kane was absent, Son Heung-min, who stood at the forefront of the 4-2-3-1 formation on this day, shook the opponent’s net with a headed shot by throwing himself at the cross of Garrus Bale.
This is Son Heung-min’s 18th goal this season (13 goals in the regular league, 1 goal in the Europa League qualifying round, 3 goals in the final, and 1 goal in the league cup).
With this, Son Heung-min has accumulated 31 attack points this season, including 13 help from various competitions, and achieved the most attack points in his season.
Previously, his most attacking points in one season were 30 (18 goals and 12 assists) he recorded last season.
Also, after wearing the Tottenham uniform, Son Heung-min scored 20 goals (14 goals in the Champions League and 6 goals in the Europa League) in the final match against the UEFA club.
According to statistics website Opta, Son Heung-min is the fourth Tottenham player to score more than 20 goals in the UEFA tournament. Harry Kane (29 goals), Martin Chivers (22 goals) and Jermaine Depot (20) are next.
In the first half, Son Heung-min, who played a role by actively navigating the ground, took a break at the start of the second half by replacing Carlos Vinicius.
Tottenham scored three goals in the first half, winning early.
Son Heung-min, who threatened the opponent with a left-footed shot in the first 5 minutes, gave a 1-0 lead to the team 8 minutes later, with a cross raised by Bale from the right side of the penalty area.
In the 28th minute of the first half, Bale scored an extra goal with a left-footed shot from the right of the penalty area.
Bale, who returned to Tottenham in September last year, has scored both goals and assists in one game for the team, the first time since the Manchester City game in April 2013.
Two minutes later, Wolfsberger aimed for an opportunity with an exquisite header from Dario Bizinger, but was saved by Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Lories.
Rather, Tottenham widened the gap by adding to scoring by Lucas Mora in the 34th minute of the first half.
Mora, who infiltrated the left side of the penalty area, defeated three opponents and scored with a right foot shot.
Extra time in the first half of the year, Christopher Wernitznich’s free kick hit the top net and was pulled 0-3, and Wolfsberger added aggressiveness to the attack in the second half.
In the 10th minute of the second half, Tottenham Musa Sissoko was penalized for a penalty, and Michael Lien made up for a goal as the kicker.
Thirteen minutes later, Bernitznich’s shot struck Tottenham’s goal and then fell.
Tottenham, who seemed to be shaken by the opponent’s offensive for a moment, soon sharpened the line and scored victory with Vinicius’ key goal.
In the 43rd minute of the second half, Pierre-Emil Hoivier’s cross was headed by Erik Lamela shortly, and Vinisius finished it with his left foot.
After winning 4-1 on the away, Tottenham stepped closer to the Europa League round of 16.
Tottenham will play the second game with Wolfsberger at home on the 25th of this month.
