Just one game was enough to change the way he looked.
'Captain' Son Heung-min scored multiple goals. 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 on the 24th (Korea time). Son Heung-min, who received a lot of concern for being silent in the last match against Leicester City, reported his first and second goals of the season in his second match, returning the reaction to praise.
Son Heung-min was the front-line striker who played last season due to Dominic Solanke's injury. It was Son Heung-min who gave Tottenham an additional goal after Eve Bissouma's goal in the 14th minute of the game, which kept an unstable lead. In the 26th minute of the first half, Everton threw in to his side, and Son Heung-min put strong pressure on him. Everton's defense made a back pass to Jordan Pickford, and Son Heung-min followed it all the way to intercept the ball and score. It was a score made by Son Heung-min's hard work, who said 'It's arrogant'.
In the 26th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min sealed the game after Christian Romero scored his third goal with a high RBI header in a corner kick. Mickey Panderpen stabbed Son Heung-min, who was rushing from the side, and Son Heung-min scored the second goal with a sensational play that connected the shot between the Pickford legs.

Until just a day before the match, the British media was critical of Son. He said he showed arrogant play against Leicester City, and some even called for him to be excluded from the starting lineup. There were even media that they should release it instead of renewing the contract at all. Son Heung-min, who has always been the best for 10 years, received such a harsh evaluation in just one game. It was Son Heung-min, who had to prove it all the time, as he has done so far, and he proved it nicely again this time.
