Tottenham Hotspur faces off against Brighton and Hove Albion in Round 30 of the Premier League in the 2022-2023 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th at 11:00 pm (Korean time). 

In the 10th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min, who led Tottenham’s attack with Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski, grabbed the ball from the left flank in front of the box called the ‘Son Heung-min Zone’ and attempted a kick with his right foot. The ball, which left Son Heung-min’s feet, drew a fantastic trajectory and was sucked into the top of Brighton’s goal. 메이저놀이터
