Son Heung-min is Son Heung-min. Tottenham still needs Son Heung-min very much.
After the first round of the English Premier League (EPL) between Tottenham and Leicester City in the 2024-2025 season, Tottenham did not follow the results in a somewhat disappointing performance, and criticism began against the ace Son Heung-min.
"Is Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou ready to take Son off the starting list?" said British Football 365 and began insisting that Son was no longer an important player at Tottenham. The player, who served as Tottenham's ace with 17 goals and 10 assists in the EPL last season, began to criticize him for failing to play about one game.
Son Heung-min had a very high level of cutting. Football 365 says `Son Heung-min's career is not on the rise. He was a great player at Tottenham, but he started to feel like he was in the past. Now Son Heung-min cannot be considered an absolute player at TottenhamSon Heung-min is no longer Tottenham's ace, he said.

Football 365 even claimed Son should be sold by Tottenham, saying, `We have included Son in the list of players that each club needs to transfer this summer.' In addition, he added Wilson O'Doubert, who Tottenham recruited this summer, and insisted that Son Heung-min would be brought down to the bench. It is true that Odobert has excellent potential, but it is impossible for a prospect who scored three league goals and three assists last season to easily replace Son Heung-min. It was a criticism only for Son Heung-min 'Knocking'.
Son Heung-min silenced criticism and criticism against him with a crazy performance like Son Heung-min. In the second round of the EPL between Tottenham and Everton, Son Heung-min scored two goals to lead Tottenham to a 4-0 victory.

On this day, Postecoglou put Son Heung-min at the forefront when Dominic Solanke was unable to play due to an ankle injury. Despite Hishalisson being able to play, it was Postecoglou who firmly showed his faith in Son Heung-min.
Postecoglou's choice was not wrong. From the beginning of the game, Son Heung-min began to show better performance than the match against Leicester. In the second minute of the first half, he created a decisive chance for Christian Romero with an exquisite pass. In the 6th minute of the first half, he attempted a bold kick in the Son Heung-min zone. He headed into the net after being deflected off the defender's body, but Jordan Pickford hit it.

As Son Heung-min survived, Tottenham also began to revive. In the 14th minute of the first half, Dejan Kulusevski penetrated Everton's defense as he made a good pass play with his teammates, and Yves Bissouma took advantage of this to score the first goal.
Next up was Son Heung-min. When Everton attempted a rear build-up in the 25th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min ran toward Pickford Roll in a sprint. 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.
Tottenham made it 3-0 in the 26th minute of the second half when Romero scored. Son Heung-min also marked the end of the victory. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Mickey van der Penn started to run after blocking the ball in the Tottenham penalty box. Son Heung-min, who was right next to him, also joined the counterattack.

Van der Penn and Son began running side by side. Van der Penn approached the Everton penalty box and handed the pass to Son Heung-min. The pass timing seemed to be a bit late, but 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, who added two goals, ranked 21st in EPL history, surpassing Steven Gerrard and Romelo Lukaku. Now, with one more goal, it will enter the top 20 in EPL history. Son Heung-min is capable of reaching the top 15 in history within this season.

After the game, the EPL secretariat selected Son Heung-min as the man of the match. Postecoglou praised captain Son Heung-min one after another in a press conference after the game. Asked if Son Heung-min's performance could make him a Tottenham legend, he said there are no set standards in the legend. But there is no doubt that Son will be a respected teammate at this football clubSon Heung-min said he would be able to remain a legend of the team unconditionally.
Postecoglou said "I like the fact that Son Heung-min is still motivated to do more, and that's important to us. Son Heung-min was really great today. He was incredible. He enjoyed his role and showed a threatening performance with a great finish," he said, giving a thumbs up to the end.

After the second round of the EPL was completed, the BBC selected and announced the second round's best Eleven on the 26th. The roster was the choice of Troy Deeney, who retired after playing in the EPL for a long time.
Among the 11 players, Son Heung-min was also named. Along with Son Heung-mi, Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Elling Holan (Manchester City), João Pedru (Brighton), Noni Madueke (Chelsea), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), Emile Smith Rowe (Fulham), Romero, Van de Penn (Tottenham), Max Kilman (West Ham), and David Raya (Arnall) were selected as Round Best Eleven.
