In the 8th round of the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur beat Leicester City 6-2 at home. "Korean brother" Son Heung-min is undoubtedly the brightest star: after coming off the bench, he scored a hat-trick within 13 minutes! Last season's Premier League Golden Boot finally broke the goal drought.
In the 2021-22 Premier League season, Son Xingyu scored 23 goals in 35 games, becoming the first Golden Boot winner from Asia in premier league history. However, son Heung-min in the 2022-23 season started very badly: 0 goals in the first 6 games of the Premier League, 0 goals in 2 games in the Champions League, and 8 starts without success.
Against Leicester City, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte sidelined the trident of Harry Kane, Richarlison and Kulusevsky, with Son sitting on the bench – in a sense, "knocking" Son. If the new trident works, Son may spend some time on the bench.
Under heavy pressure, Sun Xingyu ushered in a big outbreak:
Son Heung-min, who came off the bench, exploded into the world wave in the 73rd minute, another world wave in the 84th minute, and a hat-trick in the 86th minute!
After scoring the first goal, Son Heung-min celebrated in a somewhat special way: a Korean brother bowed in the direction of the stands.
Judging from Son Heung-min's INS after the game, this is dedicated to the fans: in the first 8 games of the new season, Son Heung-min did not score a goal, but Tottenham fans still supported the South Korean striker. At the 60,000-strong Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Son's bow, with apologies, also represents gratitude.
Sun Xingyu's father, Sun Xiongzheng, and his mother also watched the battle. When the son broke the ball, the parents were also relieved! The 60-year-old Sun Xiong is constantly clapping, his hands praising; The mother was also clapping, wiping away tears with excitement. As we all know, Sun Xiong is very demanding of his son Sun Xingyu, and both father and son are under great pressure during this time. Fortunately, Son Xingyu turned pressure into motivation and announced the return of the king with 2 world waves and a hat-trick.
Son interacts with his parents in the stands. After scoring, Son Heung-min made a flying kiss to celebrate and pointed to the stands.
Yan Shi is a high disciple, and Sun Xiong is cultivating excellent sons in an almost cruel way; Sun Xingyu, 30, has also always respected his father. Sun Xingyu's hat-trick is a downturn of more than 1 month.
