February 1st 4:15am Brighton away game
Son Heung-min, goal silence for 5 consecutive games VAR canceled against Liverpool
Son Heung-min’s Tottenham will play an away match against Brighton in the 2020-2021 English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) Round 21 at 4:15 am (Korean time) on the 1st of the following month at Amex Stadium in England.
On the 29th, Tottenham, who lost 1-3 in their home game against Liverpool, lost 4 league games (2 wins 2 draws) and undefeated marches in 8 official matches (6 wins 2 draws), ranking 6th in the league with 33 points.
It’s a 4 point difference from Liverpool (37 points), which was ranked 4th in the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League next season. The difference between Tottenham and ninth place Arsenal (30 points) is only three points. Losing one more game could quickly fall into the middle of the league, with the opposing team Brighton at 17th in the league, barely outside the relegation zone. He has stagnated with 1 win, 2 draws and 2 losses in the last 5 league games. It is an evaluation that Tottenham has the upper hand in terms of objective power.
In recent opponents, Tottenham has been ahead with two consecutive wins, but in October 2019, he suffered a complete 0-3 defeat at Brighton.
Son Heung-min’s shoulder is heavy in a situation where a rebound is necessary. Harry Kane, his best friend in the game against Liverpool, was replaced with the start of the second half due to an ankle injury, and is expected to be missed for several weeks. Although accurate test results should come out, it is expected that it will be difficult to compete in Brighton right away.
Change is inevitable for Jose Mourinho. Like Liverpool, there is a high possibility that Son Heung-min will be forwarded or Carlos Vinicius will be the starter. Or, like last season, Lucas Moura’s one-top service is one of the options.
It is also of interest that Son Heung-min breaks the silence of the goal that continues for nearly a month. After the semi-final of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Brentford on the 6th, he failed to score 5 consecutive games in the official match until Liverpool.
In the meantime, they added help against Sheffield United and Wickham Wanderers (FA Cup), but that wasn’t the expected goal.
Of course, there was no goal luck. In the 16th round of Fulham and 17th round of Sheffield, the goal was scored, and the game against Liverpool was canceled after video reading (VAR).
Son Heung-min is second in the scoring ranking after Mohamed Salah (Liverpool, 13 goals) with 12 goals (6 assists) in the regular league this season. It’s tied with Kane. In all competitions, he has scored 16 goals (10 assists).
Competitor Salah is also stagnating, and if Son Heung-min succeeds in driving again, it is possible to retake the lead.
If he adds two more goals against Brighton, his Asian player’s EPL season’s most goals in the regular league (14 goals) and a tie record.
However, the key is how to overcome the concentration check on the opponent while Kane is injured.
Son Heung-min is scoring one goal and one assist in six games against Brighton. On December 14, 2017, he operated a scorer in the 17th round of the EPL in the 2017-2018 season against Brighton.
