Son Heung-min started in the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Everton in 2024-2024 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on the 25th. Tottenham won a 4-0 victory thanks to Son Heung-min's multi-goal performance.
Son Heung-min contributed to the team's victory with his strong performance in the game. He shook the opponent by moving between the center one-top and the left side. The pressure as a one-top stood out in the first scoring scene. In the 26th minute of the first half, opposing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford seized the ball by pressing it in the process of catching it, and he scored his team's second goal by pushing it into an empty goal. In the next scoring scene, his goal-scoring ability and penetration stood out. In the 32nd minute of the second half, fellow Mickey Panderpen stole the ball and advanced to the front of the penalty box and gave the ball to Son Heung-min on the left side, and Son Heung-min calmly shook the net again, aiming between Pickford's legs on the left side.
Thanks to his performance, Son Heung-min was also listed as the best 11 selected by the BBC in the UK. EPL striker Troy Deeney, who picks BBC's 11 best players, has Son Heung-min as one of the midfielders and has been the best player in the stadium. Starting from the center, moving to the left and scoring two goals. He was constantly threatening and seemed to enjoy Kane's challenge as a starting goalkeeper, replacing all of his goals, he said, admiring his performance.

Craig Burley, a former member of the Scotland national team, also pointed out Son Heung-min. Burley "Tottenham saw Leicester City as too much of a pushover. I felt that way as I watched the pass and shot finish. That's what Tottenham's strikers, including Son Heung-min and Madison, looked like. It felt like they thought they could never get enough of this game. This attitude came from the arrogance of 'Since we are dominating the game, the second goal will soon be scored.' It's really embarrassing. He criticized Son Heung-min, saying, "It's an action that only stronger teams than Tottenham do."
Tottenham senior Jamie O'Hara also said, `Son Heung-min was not good enough. I wasn't able to overwhelm enough in the first half," he said, expressing regret.
However, Son Heung-min blew this evaluation in just one game. His performance was more than enough to erase everyone's criticism.
