The BBC admitted it. Son Heung-min (32) received the team's second highest score.

Son's return match was perfect.

Tottenham defeated West Ham 4-1 in the eighth round of the English Premier League in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 19th (Korea time).



Son Heung-min, who started as a left winger, opened the scoring. In addition, he showed off his absolute influence by being involved in his team's three goals.

He was replaced by Timo Werner in the 15th minute of the second half when Tottenham leaned into a complete victory mode.



Son Heung-min, who suffered a hamstring injury in a home game against Karabakh FK in the first round of the Europa League on the 27th of last month, was excluded from the A national team's two consecutive games.

I've changed my mind. He was excluded from Manchester United away in the sixth round of the Premier League, Ferencvaros away in the second round of the Europa League, and Brighton away in the seventh round of the Premier League.



He was expected to return on the day.

Until now, local media have raised rumors of Son Heung-min's transfer. There were numerous rumors of transfers, including Barcelona, Saudi Arabia, and AT Madrid, which are the most prestigious in La Liga.

Son Heung-min silently prepared for the comeback.

In the end, he proved it in real life. I showed everything for 70 minutes. He scored one goal and was not recorded as an assist, but assisted and induced an opponent's own goal.

He made 43 touches and 26 passes, and recorded a high-sensitivity pass success rate of 84%. He made four shots and two effective shots.

The BBC reported that Tottenham had already played overwhelmingly in the first half, and Son Heung-min's shot was blocked by Alphonse Areola, but it deflected off Jean-Claire Todibo's body and entered the goal. He scored with a finishing touch after the Hammers failed to clear a loose ball five minutes later. Tottenham's impressive attacking performance resulted in a fitting result.

The BBC picked Dejan Kulusevski as the man of the day. It gave him the highest score of 8.26 points. Son Heung-min came second in both teams. It was 7.92, and Mickey Van de Pan scored 7.33.

During Son's absence, local media reported 'Son Heung-min is a past player. Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke are key to Tottenham's attack.

However, Tottenham experienced a shocking come-from-behind defeat against Brighton, scoring two goals in the first half and then dedicating three goals in the second half.

It was a game that made me realize the absence of a mental pillar and core to lead the team. Postecoglou said 'The worst game since Tottenham's inauguration.

"The biggest reason for the upset loss against Brighton is Son Heung-min's absence," England legend Gary Lineker said.

Until now, local media have criticized Son Heung-min for his ups and downs this season and his old age. However, the reality was that it was not.
