Son Heung-min became the winner of the final goal. He scored his second goal in the 18th minute of the first half when his team was leading 1-0. It was the moment when he scored his 11th goal in the league this season.
Son scored his 10th Premier League goal in the 16th round of the Premier League against Newcastle United, setting a new record of double-digit goals for eight consecutive Premier League seasons. He then scored again in two matches, igniting the race for the top scorer.

Hishalisson scored Tottenham's first goal on the day. Hishalisson, who played as a forward striker, scored his fifth goal of the season by completing Brennan Johnson's low cross.
Afterwards, it was Son's turn. Johnson, who got the ball back from the right side of the penalty area to Dejan Kulusevski, fired a right-footed shot but was blocked by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. However, Son did not miss the ball that bounced off and shook the net with a right-footed shot.
Based on his performances, he was named "Man of the Match" right after the match. It was overwhelming indeed. In a vote for "Man of the Match," which was conducted on the league's official website, Son garnered an overwhelming 67.7 percent of the 22,947 votes, beating over Guglielmo Vicario 15.1 percent.

Local media also praised him. He also observed his rating. "Statistical media" Fuscoord.COM gave Son 7.6, the third highest rating among Tottenham players. The highest rating was 8.5 for defender Emerson Royal.

Son Heung-min, who made his Tottenham debut in the 2015-16 season, has a significant amount of momentum this season. As he took the captaincy post after Harry Kane Bayern Munich, he felt more responsibility and pressure than ever. Expectations were not very high as Enzi Postecoglou, who had no experience as a leader in the big leagues, took the helm. Watchers did not have a positive assessment of Tottenham before the season.
However, he is now cruising to fourth place in the league. In the first 10 games, he had eight wins and two draws, and went on an unbeaten run. He couldn't avoid a downtrend at a time when there were many injured. However, if the injured return and the January transfer window goes well, there is a good chance that he will look higher.
Son Heung-min has displayed remarkable performance. In the beginning of the season, he changed his position as a forward striker instead of Hishalisson. Nevertheless, he has maintained his sharpness. He has displayed better decision-making power than ever by scoring 11 goals this season.
The game started as a left winger, whom Son often played. "As always, I just try to score. I'm ready no matter what position the coach puts me in," he said. "I always work for the team and I like to work for the team."
In particular, he is encouraged by the fact that he shook off his slump in the previous season. Last season, he suffered internal fractures and hernia, which caused his condition to deteriorate. He also played in the bench, not as a starter. He only scored 10 goals in the last season's league. However, he has already surpassed the previous season by playing only 18 league games this season. 먹튀검증
Son is enjoying this season more than ever. "I suffered a lot throughout the last season, but now I am working hard for the team without any pain," Son said. "Top 4 is our goal. I want to keep improving."
In an interview with "Spurs Play," Son said, "I liked Johnson and Kulusevski's teamwork and Johnson's shots. Luckily, the ball came right in my direction and scored a goal. I didn't kick as well as I thought, but it went into the net."
The victory laid the groundwork for Tottenham to leap to the top. The next game is against Brighton on the 29th. Brighton is currently aiming to enter the top six in ninth place in the league.
