Son Heung-min was given the task of starting one-top in the 13th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Fulham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the night of the 1st (Korea time). It was deployed to the front line of the 4-3-3 formation.
Timo Werner and Brennan Johnson were placed on Son Heung-min's left and right sides. Coach Enze Postecoglou again asked Son Heung-min to play the role of the front-line troubleshooter in the face of a series of injuries. Dominic Solanke's injury was the deciding factor.
But Son Heung-min has not been able to continue his recent good sense of goal. Son Heung-min scored in two consecutive league games and challenged for an offensive point in three consecutive official games.
Since he also scored in two consecutive A matches, he was able to achieve an offensive point in the last five consecutive games if he scored an offensive point in the match against Fulham on the same day. This is why there were high expectations for Son Heung-min, who was given the one-top striker mission again.

After this shot, Son was barely noticeable on the ground. Tottenham's entire offense, including Son Heung-min, was dull. The number of shots that day was only eight. Son Heung-min's shot came right after kickoff.
In the end, Tottenham did not win at home. Johnson's first goal was scored in the 9th minute of the second half, but he allowed an equalizer in the 22nd minute of the second half to draw 1-1. Cairney, who scored Fulham's equalizer at the end of the game, was sent off with a red card, failing to create a decisive goal chance against Fulham, where 10 people fought for about 10 minutes.

Football London said of Son Heung-min "All of the early scoring chances were blocked. Since then, there have been very few contributions to the game. It's just an outward appearance. I had to lead the players as captain, but it was too quiet", and rated it four points. It was the worst rating in the team.
The overseas soccer statistics media, Huscoord, also gave Son a 6.3 rating. It was the lowest rating among the starting members, along with defender Destiny Udoghi and midfielder James Maddison. It was a disgraceful day for Son Heung-min.
