Before returning to the EPL, full-time starter against Brentford
The team’s 2-2 contributed to the draw… Presence with 3 effective shots
Son Heung-min (30, Tottenham), a native of Chuncheon, the ace of Korean soccer, played full-time in the English Premier League (EPL) return match and made an impressive performance.
Tottenham drew 2-2 in the 2022-2023 EPL round 17 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 allowing an additional goal in the 25th minute. However, he did not back down easily and struggled to create a turning point. It was only in the second half that we had a chance to turn around. In the 20th minute of the second half, Kane headed a cross and scored the chase goal, and 6 minutes later, Hoivier, who received an assist from Klusevski, equalized the game. Son Heung-min, who underwent surgery after suffering an orbital fracture in a match against Marseille in the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL), wore a black mask to protect his face on this day as well. It is the first time Son Heung-min has played an EPL match since the 14th round against Bournemouth on October 29th. Son Heung-min did not record an attack point that day, but he contributed to the team’s draw with his presence. Tottenham, who recorded 9 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses (30 points), kept the 4th place.
Son Heung-min stood at the forefront of the attack with Kane and Kulusevski in the match, where the 3-4-3 formation was activated. He took a free kick from the front of the penalty arc in the 11th minute of the first half, and continued to try for attack points, such as shooting in the 25th and 30th minutes of the first half. He attempted a left-footed shot in extra time in the second half, but was blocked by the goalkeeper, leaving regret.
England’s Football London gave Son Heung-min a rating of 6 and said, “There was a brilliant moment from the front, but the opposing goalkeeper easily caught both shots.”
