Son Heung-min scored his team's second goal in the 21st minute of the second half when he was leading 1-0 in the 10th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League (EPL) away match against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park in London, England, at 4 a.m. on the 28th (Korea time).

Brennan Johnson, who succeeded in penetrating into the left penalty box, received a pass from James Madison and immediately connected it to Son Heung-min at the gate, which Son Heung-min finished with a left-footed shot and shook the net.

With this, Son scored his eighth goal in the league.

Son Heung-min, who took the lead in his team's 2-0 victory with the first winning goal in the 9th round of the league against Fulham on the 24th, scored two consecutive goals, pressing current league leading scorer Erling Holan (Manchester City, 9 goals) by one goal.

Son Heung-min became the joint top scorer with Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) with 23 goals in the league in the 2021-22 season, but he slowed down due to injury last season and had to watch EPL freshman Holan's solo performance.

However, this season, he re-enacted his performance two seasons ago from the beginning of the league, signaling a full-fledged competition for the top scorer.

Tottenham, which led by two goals due to Son Heung-min's goal, allowed a comeback goal in extra time in the second half, but there was no big problem in getting three points.

Tottenham, which won 2-1 in the away game, has remained firmly in the lead since the opening of the EPL with 10 games undefeated (eight wins and two draws).

Tottenham, which added three more points in the away match at Palace, will be able to stay in the lead position for the time being, widening the gap to five with second-place Manchester City (21 points), which played one less game.

Son Heung-min, who played as the starting one-top on the day, showed off his healthy physical condition by playing full time.

Son Heung-min rarely played full time under thorough management after suffering a groin injury after the last Arsenal and North London derby.

However, in the game just four days after the match against Fulham, he wore the captain's armband and went on the ground from the start to the end of the game, completely washing away concerns about his physical condition.
