2-1 win over Everton… 3rd consecutive team wins, 4th place

Son Heung-min is in, Vicario is blocked...

Tottenham's winning formula was confirmed once again.

Tottenham, led by coach Ange Postecoglou, won 2-1 in the 18th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 24th with consecutive goals in the first half between Hisharlisson and Son Heung-min.

Tottenham laid the groundwork for its entry into the lead with three consecutive wins, and Son Heung-min made a Christmas present with his 11th goal (ranking third in score tally) in front of a packed home fan. He was also named the MVP after the match.

Thanks to "SonTaclos," Tottenham ranked fourth with 36 points and narrowed the gap with Arsenal (40 points). Son is also on the league table with 114 goals (23rd overall in total) in the EPL.

Along with Hisharlisson, Son Heung-min was at the forefront of Tottenham's attack. Tottenham dominated the mood when Hisharlisson scored against his former team just nine minutes into the first half. Hisharlisson shook the net with a low and strong grounder cross from Brannon Johnson, who penetrated the side, in front of the goal area. Coach Postecoglou also applauded Hisharlisson's goal, which had four goals in three consecutive games.

Then, Son Heung-min scored a goal in the 18th minute of the first half that showed his amazing reflexes and smartness. When Johnson's right-footed shot was blocked by Everton's iron wall goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, Son Heung-min immediately hit the corner with his right-footed shot right from the front of the goal area. The sudden shot was weak, but he took the course most likely to go, and Pickford goalkeeper was forced to look in vain. 토토사이트

After that, Everton's full-scale counterattack continued until the end of the game, and Tottenham's dominance continued to be threatened. However, Tottenham had Guglielmo Vicario, the "spider-handed goalkeeper" who was recruited this season. As the starting point of Tottenham's build-up defense, he faced several crisis moments on the day under opponent pressure and counterattack, but he became the last bastion with his animal sense and high concentration.

In the 37th minute of the second half, Andre Gomes' direct shot eventually gave up a goal, but after that, he threw his whole body to prevent the wave of attacks and became the first contributor to the team's victory.

In the "Man of the Match" vote, which was conducted by the Premier League secretariat after the match, Son garnered 67.7 percent of the 22,947 votes, beating Vicario (15.1 percent), who showed good performance. This is the seventh MVP of this season.

Son did not maximize his unique speed, but he also showed strong performance in the big game with a decisive hit. Football statistics website Fuscoord.com gave Son 7.6, the third highest score among Tottenham players, and the highest score for defenders Emerson Royal (8.5 points) and Vicario (8.4).
