Tottenham ‘Captain’ Son Heung-min also started as a ‘one-top’ in the 5th round of the EPL against Sheffield United on the 16th.

Tottenham almost lost at home to Sheffield by giving up a goal in the 28th minute of the second half, but consecutive goals from Richarlison and Dejan Kulusevski in extra time in the second half resulted in a 2-1 comeback drama.
