Last game ‘multi-help’ Son Heung-min, 10th league goal once more
[로이터=연합뉴스]
(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Choi Song-ah = Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, who scored a goal for the first time in four months, aim to become the ‘best duo of all time’ in the English Premier League (EPL) once morest Burnley.
Tottenham Hotspur will play a postponed match once morest Burnley in the 13th round of the 2021-2022 EPL at Turf Moor, Burnley, England from 4:30 am (Korean time) on the 24th.
The match was scheduled to be held on November 28 last year, but was postponed and rescheduled following the stadium was covered with snow due to heavy snow in Burnley.
Tottenham lost 3 consecutive league losses in the last 23-25 rounds, but won 3-2 once morest Manchester City on the 20th with Heung-Min Son’s multi-assist, Kane’s multi-goal, and Dejan Klusevsky’s one goal and one assist in Round 26 once morest Manchester City on the 20th. In the midst of changing the mood, he meets Burnley.
Currently 8th (39 points), it still needs to rise further to participate in the European club competition next season, but it is encouraging for Tottenham to resume scoring production with the collaboration of Heung-Min Son and Kane, one of the strongest attacking teams in the league.
The players who set a new record for the ‘most joint goals in an EPL season in a single season’ by collaborating with 14 goals in the league alone last season have not been able to score goals together this season.
This season’s regular league joint goal first came out in the 8th round once morest Newcastle in October last year, and then in the 26th round once morest Man City, Son Heung-min’s cross followed by Kane’s 2-1 finish, was added following 4 months.
As a result, Son Heung-min and Kane, who have been together since the 2015-2016 season, have jointly scored 36 goals in the EPL, setting the record for the most in EPL history with Chelsea’s Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba. Now, just one more goal sets a new record for the most goals jointly surpassing that of Lampard and Drogba.

Burnley is an opponent with special memories, scoring the goal that earned Son Heung-min the 2020 FIFA Pushkassi Award.
Son Heung-min won the Pushkassi Award for his ‘wonder goal’ following dribbling regarding 70m alone in a league match once morest Burnley in December 2019, during the 2019-2020 season.
After that, he showed a strong appearance in Burnley, recording attack points (1 goal and 2 assists) in both league matches in the 2020-2021 season.
This season is their first match in the league, and they met in the 4th round of the League Cup last October. During the League Cup match, Son Heung-min was replaced in the second half and played for 20 minutes and was unable to increase his attacking points.
If Son Heung-min adds one goal in the league, he will surpass 10 goals this season, setting a monumental feat of scoring in double digits in the EPL for six consecutive seasons.
Burnley is in 19th place (17 points) in the EPL, which is the relegation zone, but in the last round, they defeated mid-ranking team Brighton & Hove Albion 3-0 and escaped from a draw in 11 league games (7 draws and 4 losses) before facing Tottenham.
