He made a great performance by assisting an additional goal against Everton. 10 EPL goals this season – 1 goal in the cup competition.

Hwang Hee-chan (Wolverhampton) recorded an attack point in two consecutive games ahead of joining the Korean national soccer team participating in the Asian Cup.
Hwang Hee-chan assisted Matheus Cunha’s additional goal in the 8th minute of the second half when the team was ahead 1-0 in the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) home game against Everton on December 31 last year. This is his second consecutive attack point since scoring two goals against Brentford on December 28 last year. Wolverhampton won 3-0 over Everton and won three games in a row. Wolverhampton, which increased its points to 28, is in 11th place. They have the same points as 10th place Chelsea, but are 4 goals behind in goal difference.
On this day, Hwang Hee-chan started as one of the top three players along with Cunha and Pablo Sarabia and shook up the opponent’s defensive line. In the 15th minute of the second half, a right-footed shot from the left side of the opponent’s penalty area hit the left goalpost. In the 27th minute of the second half, he hit the net with a left-footed shot from the right side of the penalty area, but was declared offside. Hwang Hee-chan complained of back pain in the game against Brentford three days ago and was substituted in extra time in the first half, but his performance that day completely dispelled concerns about his back injury.
Hwang Hee-chan finished 2023 with 11 goals in official games this season. He scored 10 goals in the EPL and 1 goal in cup competitions. ‘Molineux News’, which mainly covers Wolverhampton news, said, “Hwang Hee-chan scored more goals this season than he scored in the league over the past two seasons (8 goals). “Hwang Hee-chan’s true value is being revealed,” he said.
Hwang Hee-chan will move from England to Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates on the 2nd to join the national team training camp that will be set up here. The national team will play a friendly match against Iraq in Abu Dhabi on the 6th and then head to Qatar, the final match of the Asian Cup, on the 10th.
