Son Heung-min's multi-goal performance against Everton is drawing numerous praise.
Tottenham won 4-0 in the second round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season against Everton at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 24th (Korea time). Tottenham reported its first win of the season with Son Heung-min, who scored multiple goals.
Coach Enze Postecoglou put Son Heung-min at the forefront when Dominic Solanke was unable to play due to an ankle injury. Putting Son Heung-min as a striker, not Hishali Song, was a choice that showed that the trust in Son Heung-min was solid.
Son Heung-min showed that Postecoglou's choice was not wrong. Son Heung-min showed a different performance than the Leicester City match, which showed his disappointing performance. Son Heung-min, who started in the second minute of the first half by creating a good scoring opportunity for Christian Romero, was blocked by Jordan Pickford in the sixth minute of the first half, but began to warm up as he attempted to wrap it boldly.

Tottenham cut through Everton's defense in the 14th minute after Dejan Kulusevski showed good pass play with his teammates and created a scoring opportunity for Yves Bissouma. Tottenham led by Bissouma's atonement, and Son Heung-min appeared in the 25th minute of the first half.
When Everton tried to build up the rear, Son Heung-min ran towards Pickford Roll. Pickford did not predict Son's speed. Son Heung-min scored his first goal of the season by stealing the ball and pushing it into an empty net.

After the game, Son Heung-min met with Sports Chosun and said, "Pickford has a very good kick ability. I could see him wanting to kick the ball a little more leisurely. I thought it was the striker's position that made it uncomfortable. When you're in that position, you always have to try those things. Even if I couldn't take the ball out of that chance, I thought we should help our defenders to have the ball as easily as possible. Today, Pickford looked a little more relaxed. I think I intercepted him well. I think I was very lucky to score my first goal of the season. He explained the situation at the time.
Tottenham made it 3-0 in the 26th minute of the second half when Romero scored. It was Son Heung-min and Mickey van der Penn who finished the victory. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Mickey van der Penn started to run after blocking Everton's attack in the Tottenham penalty box. Son Heung-min, who was right next to him, also joined the counterattack.

Van der Penn and Son ran side by side. Everton's defense collapsed helplessly as Tottenham's two fastest players ran. Van der Penn approached the Everton penalty box and handed the pass to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min reported his team's fourth goal and first multi-goal of the season with an exquisite shot aimed between the goalkeeper's crotch almost from square.
Son Heung-min said "The van der Penn sped a great distance and gave up the pass at good time. My control was good, too. I think I tried to keep the situation calm even though the angle wasn't good. In such a situation, the goalkeeper always cuts the angle roughly, so I always looked between the goalkeeper's legs and hit the shot. The shooting went in the way I wanted it to, so I feel quite good. The situation in which Van der Penn dragged the ball out, the situation in which he intercepted it, and the way he tried to pass it in a timely manner all seemed to be impressive goals"I tried to score a goal calmly," he said.

Deeney said "Son Heung-min was the best player in the stadium. He started in the middle and moved to the left to score two goals. He was a constant threat. Now he seems to be the main player of the team and enjoying the challenge of replacing every Harry Kane goal."
Son Heung-min was also chosen by Alan Shearer, one of the best legends in EPL history. The EPL secretariat announced on the 26th that it picked the best-Eleven in the second round of the official round. The selection committee member is Shearer, the highest scorer in EPL history.
Shearer picked Holan, Pedru, Madueke, Romero, Van der Penn, Kilman, Raya, James Milner (Brighton), Cole Palmer (Chelsea) and Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) with Son Heung-min at the forefront. West Ham coach Julen Lopetegui was selected as the best coach in the second round.

With Shearer on Son Heung-min "In the absence of Dominic Solanke, Son played as a striker. He threatened Everton and he scored two goals.' Postecoglou was also busy praising Son after the game.
Son Heung-min still proved himself to be Tottenham's ace by sweeping the BBC and EPL's second round best-leven. Several controversies have been raised shaking Son Heung-min after Tottenham's draw against Leicester City, but criticism went in immediately as Son Heung-min performed very well.
If Son Heung-min shows a disappointing performance in the future, he will face various criticisms, but Son Heung-min can prove it every time. It is surprising that there are still doubts about Son Heung-min in the UK.
