Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham Hotspur) laughed, saying, "I can't be humble today," who scored a fantastic opening goal in the'North London Derby' against Arsenal and won 2-0 to Tottenham.
Son Heung-min started the home game in the 11th round of the 2020-2021 English Professional Football Premier League against Arsenal held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 7th (Korean time), and operated a scorer that broke the balance in 13 minutes in the first half.
After Harry Kane's infiltrating pass, Son Heung-min struck the left side of the penalty spot, and the ball rolled up with his right foot hit Arsenal's right corner.
It was such a wonderful goal that Tottenham wrote on the club's social network service (SNS) with a video of the score and'This goal will never get old'.
On this day, Son Heung-min did a great job by helping Kane score in the extra time in the first half.
In an interview posted on the club's SNS after the game, Son Heung-min hesitated for a moment at the word'It was a great goal' and then laughed, saying, "I can't be humble today."
He soon said, "If I say'I was lucky,' people will say no," and "but I think it was a lucky goal."
Son Heung-min said, "It was a great goal. It was really really good to score a goal on our first chance."
However, he said, "I'm happier with 3 points rather than scoring a goal like this," he said. "We won the game and the team's performance was great."
Tottenham's victory that day increased the season's points to 24 and regained the league leader.
Son Heung-min was more satisfied with his team's victory with a goal in the face-to-face matchup with Arsenal, especially on the day fans returned to the stadium.
On that day, about 2,000 spectators watched Tottenham's victory at the stadium, and it has been nine months since March this year.
