Tottenham won 3-1 over Leicester City on Sunday evening to continue the tense top 4 race with Arsenal.

Son’s ability to score with both feet is really scary as this is his 10th goal with his left foot this season at Premier League. He became only the second right-footed player in the league’s statistical history to reach the dozens of goals with his left foot, after teammate Harry Kane of the 2017/18 season also with 10 goals.

So Son Heung Min now has 19 goals, he still has not given up hope of winning the top scorer of the season when only 3 goals behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah. There are four more games left for Son to do that, which is not easy but he has a support by Salah’s own form: the Egyptian striker has scored only 2 goals in the last 6 rounds and both of those goals have been scored. in a 4-0 win over Manchester United.

But right now Son has passed the milestone of another famous player, or rather, his senior. Legendary striker Cha Bum Kun scored 17 goals in the 1985/86 season for Bayer Leverkusen and that has always been the record for most goals in a European season by a Korean player, but now Son has set it. new record.

Son’s excellence confused coach Antonio Conte. After the game he said: “I hugged him and asked, which foot is Son’s dominant foot? I told Son that I was going to pull him out to rest, when three minutes later Son scored that goal. What an outstanding player.”
