"This is what Son Heung-min loves and misses."

The hearts of Tottenham Hotspur fans, who were cooling down, heated up again with affection and respect.

As a result, Son Heung-min set a double-digit score record in official games for nine consecutive seasons from the 2016-2017 season. This season, he has scored a total of 10 goals, including six in the league, three in the Europa League and one in the Carabao Cup. It is the only record among active EPL players.

British public broadcaster BBC and Sky Sports explained that Son Heung-min is the only active player who has set a double-digit record in official games since the 2016-2017 season. Mohamed Salah or Elling Holan are also records that have yet to be achieved. Liverpool's scoring machine Salah has scored double digits for eight consecutive seasons since the 2017-2018 season. Holan has been active on the EPL stage since the 2022-2023 season.

Son Heung-min scored his first goal in the 22nd minute of the first half with a 1-0 lead. He took James Madison's pass and dug into the left side of the penalty area and fired a strong shot. The ball deflected off the defender went into the goal.

Then, in the 32nd minute of the second half, when they were chased 2-1, they also broke through from the left and fired a sharp left-footed shot into the corner of the goal on the other side. I pierced an angle like a needle gap. The sharp sense of shooting in his heyday came back to life.

Thanks to Son Heung-min's multi-goal, Tottenham shook off Hoffenheim's pursuit in the second half and won a new victory 3-2. It was a very meaningful victory that turned on the green light for the Europa League's direct advance to the round of 16.

Tottenham were in ninth place in the Europa League until League phase six. Since it can go straight to the round of 16 until the 8th place, it was necessary to increase the ranking by adding 3 points. It gave the team a valuable win when losing at Hoffenheim would have to play the round of 16 playoff games in February. As a result, Tottenham rose to sixth place in the league (4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, 14 points), increasing its chances of going straight to the round of 16.

When Son Heung-min scored multiple goals for the first time in a long time and gave the team a victory, public opinion from Tottenham fans, who had been cold to Son Heung-min, also fluctuated greatly. Fans posted a message on social media saying, `This is Son Heung-min, whom we loved and missed," he said in a rousing tribute.

It is a completely different temperature from just four days ago. Son Heung-min has come under harsh criticism from fans for his somewhat lackluster performance this season. He had to hear abusive language from fans at a time when he was already neglected by the Tottenham club to launch a one-year contract extension option rather than renewing his contract.

Son Heung-min was humiliated in an away match against Everton in the 22nd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in 2024-2025 season at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England on the 20th. He played full time, but failed to prevent his team's 2-3 defeat. Still, Son Heung-min did his best to reach his fans.

He approached Tottenham fans who came to cheer for the away game and apologized for the loss. But it wasn't an encouraging ovation to come back. I was insulted only.

Some fans were seen using abusive language and abusive language " impossible XX". Son Heung-min wrapped his hands around his face with a sad expression on his face and turned around. There were even a number of fans who insisted that `except Son Heung-min, rather send Mikey Moore as the starting player.' Son Heung-min has devoted himself to the team for the past 10 years and has made a legendary performance, creating an atmosphere of criticism over only a temporary slump.

However, Son Heung-min silently endured such insults from some fans. And he immediately showed his true face and turned his fan spirit around with his skills.

A great hero is completed in great trials. Son Heung-min's heroic narrative is still ongoing.
