“Sonny’s back. 2 stunning goals (Sonny is back, with 2 stunning goals).”

This is a post left by Gary Lineker (63), an English soccer legend from Tottenham, on his social media Twitter on the 29th. It welcomed the resurrection of Tottenham striker Son Heung-min (31), who broke the goal silence. On this day, Son Heung-min scored two goals in the 2022-23 season England Football Association (FA) Cup Round of 32 away match against Preston North End (2nd division), leading to a 3-0 victory and a 16th round.

Before this game, Son Heung-min scored only 6 goals in 26 games in all competitions, including being silent for 4 games. In addition, Tottenham signed Dutch winger Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal (Spain) on the 26th. On the 27th, former Premier League Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlaher said, “Son Heung-min, who has always been sharp, seems lacking in something and lacks confidence. If I were Tottenham manager Antonio Conte, I would make the decision to put Son Heung-min on the bench and give Richarlison a chance to start,” he argued, and some British media also predicted Son Heung-min to be benched.

While Tottenham striker Harry Kane was not feeling well and could not train properly, Son Heung-min started as a three-top match against Preston along with Ivan Perisic and Dejan Klusevsky. After warming up with two bold shots in the 16th and 25th minutes of the first half, Son Heung-min finally scored the first goal in the 5th minute of the second half. 온라인바카라

Son Heung-min shot a long-range shot of about 27m with a left-footed kick from the 45-degree point on the right back of the arc, the so-called ‘Son Heung-min Zone’. The ball followed a beautiful trajectory and landed in the left corner of the net. Son Heung-min, who tasted the goal after only 5 games and 24 days, did an uppercut and performed a proprietary ‘click ceremony’.In the 24th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min, who received a backheel pass from Perisic’s heel, turned left at the gate and scored an additional goal with a left-footed turning shot. He scored multiple goals 108 days after the European Champions League match against Frankfurt in October last year. Son Heung-min, who was a ‘man in crisis’, created a twist by scoring the 7th and 8th goals of the season with only his left foot. He had 4 shots on target and a pass success rate of 96%.

British football London gave the highest rating of 9 points for both teams, saying, “It was at a higher level than anyone else on the ground, and I hope it will be his new start.” Alan Shearer, a former England national team member, said, “We confirmed the Son Heung-min we know. Great shooting,” said coach Christian Stellini, “Son Heung-min is the best player. He took responsibility and led the victory in the absence of Kane,” he praised.

Kane left a message on Instagram with a picture of Son Heung-min, saying, “Nice work, friends, Sonny.” Tottenham covered Instagram with nine photos of Son Heung-min and wrote, “Never doubt Son Heung-min.”

Son Heung-min suffered an orbital fracture in November last year and had a forced march at the World Cup in Qatar, and showed discord with left wingback Perisic. However, when Kane was absent that day and Perisic took the lead, Son Heung-min penetrated the center several times and regained his former sharpness. Son Heung-min, who scored for the first time with Perisic, who joined this summer, ran to Perisic’s arms. Although the opposing team was the English Championship (second division) team, Son Heung-min scored 2 goals despite the expected goal (XG) of 0.18 goals.

Son Heung-min said, “I needed these goals to find confidence. As a striker, the important thing is to score goals,” he said. Although Danjuma scored a key goal that day, Son Heung-min showed that ‘form is temporary, but class is forever’ in front of the competitor.

Son Heung-min grimaced as if feeling pain as he was substituted out in the 40th minute of the second half, but fortunately, his physical condition was reported to be fine. Son Heung-min, who has regained his confidence, challenges Manchester City and the 9th goal in the Premier League match on the 6th of next month.
