Son Heung-min 31, Tottenham once again set a diverse and meaningful record in the North London Derby with Arsenal. Son Heung-min celebrated his career by scoring 150 goals in nine seasons after entering Tottenham. 스포츠토토핫 Son Heung-min, who moved to Tottenham in August 2015, played 379 games and scored a total of 150 goals, including 108 goals in the league, 14 in the FA England Football Association Cup, four in the League Cup and 24 in the European competition.
Tottenham had a valuable 2-2 draw with Arsenal in the sixth round of the English Premier League in the 2023-24 season at the Emirates Stadium in London on the 24th.
Son Heung-min scored again in two games after scoring a hat-trick in an away match against Burnley on the 2nd. On the same day, Arsenal scored the first goal and took the lead again, but Son Heung-min continued to score the equalizer and held Arsenal back at home. It was the moment when Son Heung-min gave the team a valuable point in the North London derby, which is fiercer than any other game.
Son Heung-min is also increasing his overall scoring ranking in the EPL. Son Heung-min, who was on par with Cristiano Ronaldo 103 EPL goals ahead of the start of the season, scored multiple goals in the match against Arsenal following a hat-trick against Burnley this season, tying with Peter Crouch 108 goals. It is tied for 28th in the rankings. Earlier, Son Heung-min beat European soccer legends, including Ronaldo, Didier Drogba, Darren Bent, and Paul Scholes, one after another.
Son Heung-min is now expected to further boost his career scoring ranking whenever he scores in the remaining games. Ryan Giggs, who used to be with Park Ji-sung at Manchester United in the past, is holding out right in front of his eyes. Giggs scored 109 goals in the EPL. Emile Heskey then scored 110 goals, Dion Dublin and Sadio Mane scored 111 goals each, and Ian Wright scored 113 goals each.
The more it goes, the more prominent names are lined up. Raheem Sterling scored 117 goals, and living legend Steven Gerrard ranks 21st in the EPL’s career scoring list with 120 goals. Romelu Lukaku is 20th with 121 goals, Robbie Keane is 18th with 125 goals, Nicola Anelka is 17th with 126 goals, Jamie Vardy is 15th with 134 goals and Mohamed Salah is 14th with 142. Robin van Persie scored 144 goals in 13th place, and Michael Owen scored 150 goals in 10th place.
Jermaine Defoe, who played for Tottenham in the same way, is ninth with 162 goals, Thierry Henry is seventh with 175 goals and Frank Lampard is sixth with 177 goals. Sergio Aguero 184 goals, Andrew Andy Cole 187 goals, Wayne Rooney 208 goals, Harry Kane 213 goals, and Alan Shearer 260 goals ranked first.
It is expected that Son Heung-min will be able to enter the top 20 depending on the results of his scoring for the rest of the season. In addition, it narrowed the gap with the top in Tottenham’s all-time scoring rankings, including all games. Son Heung-min ranks sixth in Tottenham’s all-time scoring rankings. Harry Kane 280 goals, Jimmy Greaves 266 goals, Bobby Smith 208 goals, Martin Cheever 174 goals, and Cliff Jones 159 goals ranked fifth.
Thanks to multiple goals, Son Heung-min immediately joined the competition for the top scorer this season. The top scorer this season is Erling Holan Manchester City, who was the top scorer last season, and has scored eight goals. It is three goals apart from Son Heung-min, who is good at hitting instinct, so you can expect a hot scoring race depending on his performance the rest of the season. Son Heung-min has already become the first Asian player to become the top scorer in the 2021-22 season.
At that time, he scored 23 goals and held Golden Boot in his arms with Mohamed Salah’s arms. Above all, Harry Kane, who was the main gun in the team, left, making many changes to the team, but it is encouraging that Son Heung-min has more opportunities to score. Recently, Enzi Postecoglou has been using Son Heung-min as a front-line striker. James Madison, who knows how to pass creatively, supports it.
With the addition of Madison, who was newly recruited ahead of this season, Son Heung-min is facing more opportunities to score, and even easier chances to score goals. At this rate, Son Heung-min, who has already written a new history of being Asia’s first EPL top scorer, may write a new history of his dream of winning the top scorer twice.
