Son has 114 goals overall. He is ranked 23rd overall. The 21st-ranked group includes Raheem Sterling, who scored 120 goals, and Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard. Considering Son’s current sense of scoring goals, he is expected to surpass Gerrard this season.

Son has been strong in the Christmas season so far. He scored one goal for Southampton in 2016 and one goal and two assists against Southampton again the following year.

In 2018, he scored two goals – one assist against Everton on 24 December, and two goals against Bournemouth three days later. In 2021, he scored one goal against Crystal Palace.

In particular, Son already had a hard time recovering from injury last season. Along with the sluggishness, the player himself had difficulty finding his form.

Concerns over an injury repeatedly this season. The injury was reported after the game against Liverpool in the seventh round of the league. Son did not have any major problems, however. He continued to play as a starting pitcher, and continued to play nonstop.
Son Heung-min said, “This was the third time Tottenham played on Christmas Eve since the 2015-2016 season when he made his Premier League debut.

In 2017, he beat Burnley 3-0 and won 6-2 overall against Everton in 2018. At the match, Son scored two goals and one assist, earning him the nickname “Sonta Claus (Son Heung-min and Santa Claus).”

As Hisharisong was replaced in the 18th minute of the second half, Son changed his position to the front-line striker. As Everton recovered a goal in the 37th minute of the second half, Son’s goal became the winning goal that sealed his team’s victory.

Huskydoc, a soccer statistics site, gave Son a 7.6 rating. He is the highest among Tottenham’s strikers. He was the third highest in the team after defender Emerson Royal (8.5 points) and goalie Vicario (8.4). Foot mob gave Son a high 7.8 rating. He is the fourth highest after Vicario (8.7 points), Royale (8.6 points) and Brennan Johnson (8.5 points).

With momentum, Everton have launched a wave of attacks to secure the equalizer. Having secured a corner kick in the 41st minute of the second half, Everton have sought a shot of their own volition, including almost all of the players who participated in the corner kick.

Under the circumstances, Son took charge of the opposing defender Tacoski. He was inferior in physique to Tacoski, who boasts the height of 185 centimeters, but Son did his best to closely defend himself.

However, Tacoski engaged in physical struggle nonstop against Son. He grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to the ground. Eventually, he was pushed by Tacoski’s physical struggle and was on the verge of falling as his opponent. It could have resulted in a serious injury.

However, he regained his balance immediately and avoided injury. Ahead of the match, Son feared his injury. TBR Football reported that Tottenham’s key players did not show up before the match against Everton.

“I didn’t see Son and Romero. I didn’t see the most important players in Tottenham.” However, Son, who didn’t show up in the training video, was listed normally and fans’ worries disappeared.

Son played full-time against Everton on Christmas Eve. He also led Tottenham’s offense by making all-out efforts, including one goal, one opportunity creation, three dribbles, and five contention successes. After the match, he was named the Most Valuable Player (MOM) by fans, and was recognized for his capability.
