[엑스포츠뉴스 김희웅 인턴기자] Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) showed a particularly strong appearance against Manchester City.
He led the team to victory by firing the scoring gun against Man City whenever it was important. Tottenham faced Man City at the time when the atmosphere needed to be reversed.
Tottenham will face the league leader Manchester City in the 24th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2020/21 season to be held at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 14th at 2:30 a.m. Korean time.
It is expected to be a difficult game for Tottenham, whose momentum has declined. Tottenham cruised, running undefeated (7 wins, 4 draws) in 11 EPL games at the beginning of the season. However, in the match against strong teams such as Leicester City and Liverpool, his head fell once in a while. Tottenham are eighth in the league with 36 points. Winning is difficult due to the large gap from the first place Man City (50 points).
In addition, the recent performance is also low. Son Heung-min and Harry Kane are still showing off their biting toes, but mistakes are frequent in the rear. Tottenham lost 4-5 after an overtime match against Everton in the round of 16 in the FA Cup on the 11th. The defensive team’s mistake is dominant.
On the other hand, Man City boasts fierce momentum. With 10 consecutive wins in the EPL, it maintains the top spot in the league. He played one less game than second place Manchester United (45 points), but is five points ahead. The green light turned on to conquer the league in two seasons.
Ruben Dias, who joined this season, and John Stones worked with John Stones to build a solid defensive wall. The main gun Sergio Aguero fell due to an injury, but midfielders such as Ilkai Gundoan and Phil Foden were outstanding. Shows a perfect figure on both sides of the karate.

It’s true that the British media Evening Standards expected Manchester City to win 3-1 ahead of this match, so it’s clearly leaning to one side. But Tottenham also has a corner to trust. This is because there is Son Heung-min,’Man City Killer’.
Son Heung-min scored 6 goals in 11 games against Man City. In particular, he scored the winning goal in the first confrontation of the 9th round of EPL this season. In the 2018/19 season of the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League Quarterfinal 2, scoring 3 goals, he flew far when he met Man City alone.
In response, Tottenham posted a video of Son Heung-min’s scoring against Manchester City along with the article “Let’s have another one” on the official social media of the club.
Fans are also looking forward to Son Heung-min’s performance. There were loud voices cheering for Son Heung-min, such as “Son Naldu”, “Man City Killer Sony”, “Son Heung-min is an incredible player”, and “Son Heung-min and Kane will score.”
