Son Heung Min

After the awful injury that plagued Son Heung-Min right before the World Cup which he had to wear a special mask for, it appears that he is back on his A-game. He also played his best for South Korea in the World Cup.

Harry Kane and Son both would make an amazing combo for Tottenham. Just yesterday, there were rumours of Antonio Conte wanting to leave the troubled club as there appears to be internal problems within the club. 

However, both Son Heung-Min and Harry Kane are carrying the whole team on their backs. Just recently, they have scored the most goals combined in the Premier League, beating Liverpool’s Mo Salah. 

They both have created history by beating Crystal Palace in a 4-0 match. 

After Crystal Palace controlled Tottenham for the majority of the first half at Selhurst Park, few would have predicted the decisive score at the break. However, the visitors quickly got going at the beginning of the second half, with Kane scoring a quick double in the 48th and 53rd minutes.

After Son scored his first Premier League goal since his hat-trick against Leicester on September 17 in the 68th minute, Matt Doherty made it three for Spurs. This turned out to be a historic goal, as Son and Kane now have the most Premier League goals scored by a team.

Son Heung-Min’s remarks about his score 

The South Korean player stated, “This is a difficult place to come and play well. I think we deserved it, in the second half we dominated the game and scored four beautiful goals.

“[My goal] was about time! It felt amazing. To be honest I felt really sorry for the team because I think they were expecting more than what I’ve done. 

“I hope today was the turning point, getting back the confidence and I will continue to help the team.”

Fan reaction to the both players 

 

Harry Kane decided to post the good news on his Twitter account and the traction gained from his postings were a lot. One fan even stated, “I have no friends. I have no girlfriend. I have no job. I have no money. I have no hobbies. I have no home. All I have is Kane. When I needed something, Kane was there for me. Kane is my life, my passion, and my faith. I love Kane.” 

He has been dubbed as the greatest English football player by fans due to the Crystal Palace win. Some are even suggesting that Kane should move to Manchester United or another bigger club to grow his career further. 

Similar things are being said about Son but the main focus was on Harry Kane.
