Before returning to the EPL, full-time starter against Brentford
The team’s 2-2 contributed to the draw… Presence with 3 effective hits
Korean football ace Chuncheon’s Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham) played full-time in the second leg of the English Premier League (EPL) and put in an impressive performance.
Tottenham drew 2-2 in their 2022-2023 EPL Round of 16 away match against Brentford, held at the G-Tech Community Stadium in Brentford, England on the night of the 26th (Korean time).
Tottenham gave Brentford their first goal in the 15th minute of the first half, and then showed helplessness by conceding an extra goal in the 25th minute. However, he didn’t back down easily and worked hard to create a turning point. Only in the second half did we have the chance to turn around. In the 20th minute of the second half, Kane headed a cross and scored the goal of the chase, and 6 minutes later Hoivier, who received an assist from Klusevski, leveled the match. Son Heung-min, who suffered an orbital fracture in a match against Marseille in the European Football Association’s (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) and underwent surgery, wore a black mask to protect his face. It is the first time Son Heung-min has played an EPL match since the 14th round against Bournemouth on October 29. Son Heung-min did not register a forward point that day, but he contributed to the team’s balance with his presence. Tottenham, who recorded 9 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses (30 points), kept their 4th place.
Son Heung-min was at the forefront of attack with Kane and Kulusevski in the match, where the 3-4-3 formation was activated. Lui took a free kick from the front of the penalty arc in the 11th minute of the first half and continued to look for attacking spots, such as shooting in the 25th and 30th minutes of the first half. In the second half of extra time, he attempted a left footed shot, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper, leaving regret.
England’s Football London awarded Son Heung-min a rating of 6 and said: “There was brilliant momentum from the front but the opposition goalkeeper took both shots easily.”
