Tottenham’s Son Heung-min scored his seventh goal of the season to lead his team to victory.
Son scored a goal and added an assist to lead Tottenham to a 2-0 win over Fulham in the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) on Thursday (Sept. 24) in London, England. Son has now scored 50 goals at Tottenham’s new stadium, which opened in 2019.
His seventh goal of the regular season is second in the league behind Elling Holland (Man City-9).
With the win, Spurs remain unbeaten on the road with seven wins, two draws and no losses.
Son Heung-min, who started, opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a calm right-footed finish off a pass from Heucharlison.
Son added an assist in the ninth minute of the second half with a pass that led to James Maddison’s second goal.
Son was replaced by Giovani Rosselso in the 37th minute with the score 2-0.
After the game, Son, who was named the Man of the Match, told the club’s official website, “We still have a lot of games left, so we have to be humble and prepare for the next game
. We don’t have much time until the next game.”
Tottenham will host Crystal Palace on Nov. 28 in the 10th round.
On what has changed since last season, Son said, “Everyone has a different attitude towards playing for the team.
New coach Anzhi Postecoglu has given Son the captaincy this season, and he has led the team to an unbeaten start in the absence of Harry Kane (Bayern Munich).
“The whole team is going in a good direction, but it’s not perfect yet.
