Son Heung-min became the Premier League’s first Asian player to win the Golden Boot after scoring 23 goals this season.
South Korean captain Son scored twice in Tottenham’s 5-0 win over Norwich on the final day to tie Mo Salah, who scored once in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Wolves. As a result, both Son and Salah are considered winners and receive trophies. Surprisingly, none of Son’s 23 goals came from penalty kicks, whereas five of Salah’s did.
Son’s right foot, which is said to be his stronger foot, scored both goals against Norwich. However, Son scored 12 left-footed goals this season, compared to 11 right-footed goals.
South Korea joins England, Holland, France, Argentina, Egypt, Ivory Coast, Bulgaria, Gabon, Portugal, Senegal, Uruguay, and Trinidad and Tobago as the 13th country to produce a Premier League Golden Boot winner. After Tottenham’s victory over Norwich, Son told reporters: “It’s an honor to receive this award.
“I still can’t believe it. I became very emotional. As a child, I fantasized about it. It’s literally in my hands. I still can’t believe it. “
I was really frustrated that I missed so many opportunities up until my goal. I told the players that I had missed the easiest chances and scored one of the most difficult tones. I never gave up. Today I wanted to score. At halftime, the team was extremely helpful. You can see it right now. ” They wanted to assist me. Son also stated:
“This season taught me a valuable lesson. We can look forward to the Champions League next season. Everyone has earned the right to be there. “
[Manager Antonio] Conte provides us with a wide range of options. “Nobody thought we’d make it to the Champions League before he arrived.
On the trophy itself, he said: “It’s quite heavy. That was unexpected. ” It was a fantastic day for me. Alisson Becker and Manchester City’s Ederson shared the Golden Glove award for most clean sheets (20) this season.
Alisson received his second Premier League Golden Glove award, after winning his first in his debut season with the Reds.
Manchester City goalkeeper Ederson, on the other hand, completed a Golden Gloves hat-trick, winning his third in a row with City, sealing the title on the final day with a win over Aston Villa at the City of Manchester Stadium.
