Son Heung-min started in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Brentford in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 21st (Korea time). Tottenham won 3-1 with Son Heung-min's performance.
Son Heung-min led his team to a come-from-behind victory with multiple assistance in the game. Son Heung-min advanced to the opponent's penalty box in the 28th minute of the first half and passed the ball to Brennan Johnson, who received the pass, entered the box and immediately hit the net with a right-footed shot. He added help at the end of the second half. In the 40th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min's penetration pass aimed between his defensive legs was directed to James Madison. Madison shook the net with a calm shot in a one-on-one situation with the goalkeeper.

Tottenham is also close to the No. 1 help in history. Currently, Tottenham's most help in history is Christian Eriksen, who recorded 88 based on transfer marks. Son Heung-min has 86 total number of Tottenham players, just two differences from Eriksen.
In the rest of this season's schedule, he may record multi-help like this game, and considering Son Heung-min's steady pace of additional help, it seems not long before he is listed as the most helpful player in Tottenham's history beyond Eriksen.
Tottenham rebounded with Son Heung-min's performance. Son Heung-min also raised his name to a higher place in EPL history. Son Heung-min and Tottenham are expected to continue the atmosphere with the Europa League match against Caravac on the 27th and the league match against Manchester United on the 30th.
