In the 37th round of the 2023-24 EPL between Tottenham and Burnley held at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 11th, Son Heung-min is attempting to shoot.
Son Heung-min of the English Premier League EPL burned his fighting spirit, saying, "I will give everything" to regain his team's fourth place.
Son Heung-min started in the 37th round of the 2023-24 EPL against Burnley, which ended at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 12th, and played full-time, helping his team to come from behind to win 2-1.
Tottenham, which recently escaped from four consecutive losses, is still ranking fifth 63 points in the league, trailing Aston Villa 67 points in fourth place. The two teams have two more matches to play.
Son led the attack moving back and forth from the center to the left. There were concerns as the number of shots decreased during the four-game losing streak, but on the day, he only attempted four shots in front of the gate, putting pressure on Burnley.
What was more noticeable was the pass. Son recorded key passes leading to shots five times. The only regret was that all of his teammates' shots cut through the air. 안전놀이터
Tottenham allowed Burnley the first goal but turned the game around thanks to goals from defenders Pedro Porro and Mickey van der Pen.
Pot Mob, a soccer statistical media outlet, gave Son a 7.3 rating. The rating was rather easy on the sofa score as well, with 7.5 rating.

However, local media had mixed reviews. British media outlet Football London gave six points, saying, "He created chances for other players through good plays. He didn't create many opportunities on his own, and the result was not good." Another outlet, 90 MIN, gave a cool-headed evaluation, saying, "He hardly penetrated the opponent team's defenders in the center. He was even more effective when he retired from the wing."
Meanwhile, Son said in his SNS post after the match, "We have overcome the difficult weeks, and now we have a good result to rebound," adding, "We have three points, and we want to finish the season strong. We will give everything for the team in the next two games."
Son also released a picture of himself with former teammates Moussa Dembele and Nasser Chadli on the post. The two players remember that they were in Tottenham uniforms in the mid-2010s and shared the same team with Son.
