Heung-Min Son was responsible for all three goals for Tottenham once morest Leicester City.
In the 22nd minute of the first half, he led Kane’s goal with a sharp corner kick and recorded the league’s 7th assist, and then recorded the league’s 18th goal with a sensational left-footed turning shot in the 15th minute of the second half, writing a new history.
It surpassed the most goals scored by a Korean player in a European big league season, which he and former coach Cha Bum-geun had together.
And in the 34th minute of the second half, a fantastic goal in the so-called ‘Heung-Min Son Zone’ evoked excitement.
The ball, lightly wound with his left foot, traced a picturesque trajectory and landed in the corner of the goal.

Heung-Min Son, who was behind the top scorer Salah by three goals with 19 goals in the league, was replaced with a standing ovation three minutes later, and coach Conte was moved by hugging Son Heung-Min warmly.
