Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) exploded with multiple goals and earned the stigma of being the ‘worst scorer’.
Son Heung-min played the 29th (Korean time) in the 2022-2023 England Football Association (FA) Cup round of 32 match against Preston North End of the Championship (Part 2) held at Deepdale Stadium in Preston, England, in the 5th and 24th minutes of the second half, season 7 and 8 He scored a goal and led Tottenham to the round of 16. Tottenham won 3-0 with the addition of freshman striker Arnaut Danjuma’s key goal.

After the away match against Crystal Palace in the 19th round of the English Premier League (EPL) on the 6th of this month, he failed to score four consecutive games.

It has been 108 days since the UEFA Champions League match between Frankfurt (Germany) and the European Football Federation (UEFA) in October last year that Son Heung-min scored two or more goals in one game.
British statistics outlet Whoscored.com gave Son Heung-min a rating of 9.07, the highest among both teams, after the match. On this day, Son Heung-min was the only one with a rating of 9 points. Ivan Perisic, who helped the second goal, was next to Son Heung-min with a 7.68.
