Son Heung-min (Tottenham) received a disappointing evaluation in the opening match. Tottenham tied Leicester City 1-1 in the first round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at King Power Stadium in England on the 20th (Korea time). Tottenham led with Pedro Porro's header first goal in the 29th minute of the first half, but failed to score three points in the 12th minute of the second half, allowing Leicester City's legendary striker Jamie Vardy to equalize.
Son started on the left wing on the day. Dominic Solanke was recruited and returned to the familiar side, not the front line. Son was strong against Leicester City. Son Heung-min scored nine goals and four assists against Leicester City on the EPL stage and scored 13 offensive points. Son Heung-min is the team with the most offensive points after Southampton (10 goals-5 assists). He has scored as many as five goals in the last three games.

Son Heung-min's evaluation against Leicester City was not very good. Football London gave Son a rating of five. It was the second lowest after Brennan Johnson (4 points), who received the lowest score. Football London had bright moments, sending a cross to Solanke at the beginning, but not enough as captain. He evaluated that it disappeared as the game progressed.
It wasn't bad for mechanical evaluations. European soccer statistics site Huscoordcom gave Son a 7.2 rating after the game. It was the third highest score after Pedro Porro (7.7 points) and Dominic Solanke (7.4 points), who scored the first goal.
Footmob also gave a similar rating of 7.3. Porro was the highest with 8.2 points, followed by Madison with 7.9, goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario with 7.8 points, and Solanke with 7.6.
