Son Heung-min (Tottenham) of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) postponed his achievement of 10 goals and 10 assists for the third time in his career.

Tottenham falls behind Aston Villa in goal difference by conceding 4 goals Son Heung-min achieves 10 goals and 10 assists for the third time in his career

Son Heung-min started as a starter in the 33rd round of the 2023-2024 EPL against Newcastle United held at St. James Park in Newcastle, England at 8:30 pm (Korean time) on the 13th and played for 58 minutes until the 13th minute of the second half.

Tottenham's defense collapsed and they suffered a crushing 0-4 defeat.

Son Heung-min, who was at the forefront, struggled with Newcastle's cooperative defense.

Although Tottenham had high ball possession, Son Heung-min was often isolated in the front, and he had difficulty holding the ball. His ball touch was also more unstable than usual.

Son Heung-min, who failed to show an impressive performance, was replaced by Dejan Kulusevski in the 13th minute of the second half when the team was down 0-3. This is the first time Son Heung-min has been substituted before the 60th minute as a starter this season. 메이저사이트

Son Heung-min, who has 15 goals and 9 assists in the league, needs to add just one more assist to reach 10 goals and 10 assists for the third time in his career. A great record was expected that day, but it was postponed to a later date. Son Heung-min became the first Asian player to set a record in the EPL with 11 goals and 10 assists in the 2019-2020 season, and also posted 17 goals and 10 assists in the 2020-2021 season. If Son Heung-min reaches the 10-goal-10-assist mark for the third time, he will be listed as a three-time achiever along with Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and the retired Didier Drogba. In EPL history, there are only five players who have scored 10 goals and 10 assists more than three times. Wayne Rooney, who led Manchester United in his prime, achieved the most with 5, followed by Eric Cantona and Frank Lampard (4). Tottenham, who had maintained 4th place in the next season's UEFA Champions League, lost 4th place to Aston Villa with a 4-goal loss. Tottenham and Aston Villa have the same points with 18 wins, 6 draws, and 8 losses (60 points), but Aston Villa is in 4th place in goal difference with +17, ahead of Tottenham (+16). Tottenham collapsed under Newcastle's counterattack in the 30th minute of the first half. Newcastle, who intercepted the ball in the defensive zone, quickly launched a counterattack, and Alexander Isak scored the first goal. Tottenham, who gave up the first goal, scored an additional goal two minutes later. A defensive mistake allowed Anthony Gordon to score the fatal second goal.

Tottenham, who trailed 0-2 in the first half, maintained a high possession rate in the second half but was not efficient. In the end, the ball was lost during an attack in the 6th minute of the second half, and Newcastle launched a quick counterattack, allowing Isaac to score multiple goals. In the process of allowing a counterattack, Son Heung-min's handling of the ball left something to be desired. When Tottenham fell behind by a score of 0-3, Tottenham coach Anger Postekoglou attempted to make a change by replacing Son Heung-min, Bissouma and Bentancur with Kulusevski, Hojbjerg and Pape Sar. However, Newcastle's heated momentum could not be stopped. Newcastle put an end to their huge win with Fabian Shea's header from a corner kick set piece in the 42nd minute of the second half. Newcastle rose to 6th place. Tottenham is set to face tough opponents such as Chelsea (May 3) and Liverpool (May 6), starting with the match against Arsenal on the 28th. 슬롯사이트
