Son Heung-min (Tottenham) remained silent in the opening match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-25 season.
Tottenham drew 1-1 in the first round of the 2024-25 EPL away match against ‘promotion team’ Leicester City at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England on the 20th (Korea time).
Entering his 10th EPL season, Son started as a left winger from the first round. He played 92 minutes until he was replaced by Hisharlisson in extra time in the second half, but failed to cut into the net. He showed good performance in the first half, but never made an effective shot in the end.
On the day, Son Heung-min joined hands with “newcomers” Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson at the forefront. James Maddison, Rodrigo Bentancur and Pape Sarr assisted them from behind. Tottenham produced 15 shots throughout the match, but it was not efficient.
Tottenham pushed Leicester from the beginning of the first half. In the 18th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min hit a left-footed shot in a mixed match after a corner kick, but he turned away from the goal. 메이저사이트

Tottenham faced negative developments in the 26th minute of the second half. Midfielder Bentancur jumped from a corner and came down, hitting his head and neck hard, and was eventually carried off on a stretcher.
Shortly before the end of the game, Tottenham tried to turn the tables by excluding Son Heung-min and prisoners and putting Jed Spence and Hisharlisong, but it was in vain.
Son started the season without a goal, but received a relatively consistent rating. The soccer statistics media WhoScore gave Son a 7.2 rating and SoFiScore a 7.3.
