Son Heung-min, in front of ‘double-digit goals’ for 7 consecutive years… Will it exceed another ‘legend’?
Can Son Heung-min record double-digit goals for 7 consecutive seasons in the English Premier League (EPL)?
Son Heung-min has been steadily growing since joining Tottenham Hotspur in the 2015-16 season. In his first season, he scored only 4 league goals and there were rumors of a return to Germany. However, from the 2016-17 season, which was his second season, Son Heung-min began to explode his scoring power and scored 14 goals that season.토토사이트
After that, he gradually developed into the history of Tottenham. He scored 12 goals in the 2017-18 season and another 12 in the 2018-19 season. In particular, in that season, he also made another history by leading the team to the final in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). The following year, in the 2020-21 season, he scored 17 goals and scored double digits for 5 consecutive seasons.
Then, in the 2021-22 season, he vomited the spirit of becoming the Premier League top scorer. Son Heung-min, who scored 23 goals from field goals without penalty kicks, shared the top scorer with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, becoming the first Asian Premier League top scorer.
He also scored in double digits in the Premier League for six consecutive seasons with 23 goals in the 2021-22 season. This record was the third Tottenham player since the inception of the Premier League, following Robbie Keane and Harry Kane.
And in the 2022-23 season, we want to continue that record. Son Heung-min has scored 8 goals in the league so far this season. His scoring pace has dropped somewhat from last season, but he’s been re-energizing his scorer lately. On the 8th (Korean time), he shook the net with a kick shot against Brighton, and scored his 8th goal in the league by scoring against Bournemouth on the 14th.
Son Heung-min, who now has 7 league games left, challenges a new history. It was his seventh consecutive season in double digits in the Premier League. To date, Kane (9 consecutive seasons) ranks first among Tottenham players, and Son Heung-min and Keane (6 consecutive seasons) are tied for second place in terms of consecutive double-digit scores. If Son Heung-min only adds 2 league goals this season, he can succeed in scoring for 7 consecutive seasons beyond Keane. Keane is a legendary striker who scored 122 goals for Tottenham. Son Heung-min, who scored his 100th personal Premier League goal this season, is trying to reach another record.
