In the second half of the 27R Palace match, he scored a decisive goal in the 43rd minute; and suffered from discord with Lee Kang-in; but he took the lead in winning 3-1 and became the best player in the game

Tottenham striker Son Heung-min roars after scoring a goal to seal a 3-1 victory against Crystal Palace on the 3rd. 

"Captain" Son Heung-min 32, Tottenham, who had a hard time due to the failure to win the Asian Football Confederation AFC Asian Cup and the controversy over "table tennis gate" since then, scored for the first time in two months in his team, causing mental distress.

Son scored a decisive goal in the 43rd minute of the second half of the 27th round of the English Premier League EPL against Crystal Palace in the 2023-2024 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Thursday, contributing to Tottenham's 3-1 victory. He scored his 13th goal of the season by scoring a goal in about two months after firing a "New Year's congratulatory shot" in the 20th round against Bournemouth at dawn on January 1 this year.

The goal was all the more meaningful for Son, who had to suffer ups and downs at the Asian Cup. After failing to prevent his team's 0-2 defeat in the semifinal match against Jordan on April 7, Son has failed to win for the first time in 64 years, and has been at the center of rumors of discord between the national team. It was a painful time for Son, who belatedly announced his physical clash with his junior Lee Kang-in Paris Saint-Germain on the eve of the match against Jordan, that it was the "toughest week of his life."

Fortunately, Lee Kang-in recently flew directly to London and apologized to Son Heung-min to close the conflict, and Son Heung-min, who was able to focus on the Tottenham game with ease, regained his unique bright smile on the day. Son Heung-min, who played as a front-line striker for the first time in a long time and showed sharp movements throughout the 90 minutes, ran about 36 meters in a unique sprint when Brennan Johnson stabbed the pass in the 43rd minute of the second half before splitting the net with his right foot from the penalty arc.

In addition to scoring scenes, Son was also brilliant. He almost gave Timo Werner a superb through pass in the 18th minute of the first half. In the 9th minute of the second half, he had one shot to hit the post. After the match, Son secured 58.1 percent of support in a vote for "Man of the Match" on the league's official website, which attracted 19,031 players, beating his teammate Johnson 15.1 percent by a wide margin to rank No. 1. Football statistics media Footmob and Huscoord Dotcom gave Son 8.6 and 8.1 points, the highest ratings for both teams, and named him the most valuable player of the match.

Hwang Hee-chan Wolverhampton, who injured his hamstring back thigh muscle in the round of 16 at the FA Cup against Brighton on April 29, is not expected to play in the second preliminary match of the 2026 FIFA North-Central American World Cup in Asia on April 21 and 26. "It will take six weeks for Hwang Hee-chan to recover," Wolverhampton coach Gary O'Neill said after the match against Newcastle United on the 3rd. "It is a catastrophic situation for us at this point." On the day, Wolverhampton was completely defeated by Newcastle 0-3 in Hwang Hee-chan's absence.  메이저사이트
