Heung-min Son of Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League (EPL) increased his attacking points from the opening game of the new season and contributed to the team's great victory.
Tottenham beat Southampton 4-1 in the first round of the 2022-2023 EPL season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
Heung-Min Son, who played full-time, created the first offensive point of the season by helping Eric Dier's winning goal with an accurate cross in the 31st minute of the first half, which was tight 1-1.
Son Heung-min, who wrote a new history in Asian football by scoring 23 goals in the EPL last season and co-scoring with Liverpool's Salah, raised expectations by helping from the first game of the new season.
Tottenham, who finished 4th last season, showed enough game content to greedy for a higher ranking this season.
Tottenham formed an 'attacking triangular squadron' with Harry Kane as the front striker, Son Heung-min on the left flank and Kulusevsky on the right flank.
Rodrigo Bentancourt and Pierre-Emil Hoybier were in charge of the midfield, and Ryan Sessegnon and Emerson were placed as left and right wing-backs.
Eric Dyer, Christian Romero and Ben Davis made up the three-back, with goalkeeper gloves worn by Hugo Lloris.
Tottenham conceded the first goal in the 12th minute.
Southampton Genepo cross was scored by James Wardpraus with a right-footed volley.
After conceding, Tottenham tightened the reins of the attack and scored the equalizer in less than 10 minutes.
In the 21st minute of the first half, Sessegnon headed a cross from Kulusevsky from the right and shook the net.
The comeback goal started from Son Heung-min's toes.
In the 31st minute of the first half, Son Heung-min stabbed a low and fast cross from the left, and Dier changed direction to the header and scored the winning goal from the comeback.
Son Heung-min had a chance to score directly in the 45th minute of the first half, but a right-footed shot from the front of the goal area jumped past two defenders and was disappointing.
Tottenham, who took the lead, widened the gap even more in the second half.
In the 16th minute of the second half, Emerson received a pass from Heung-Min Son, and Southampton defender Mohamed Salisu cleared a ground ball shot from the left side of the goal area.
Two minutes later, after receiving a pass from Emerson, Kulusevsky put a left-footed shot from the right side of the goal area into the opposing goal to put the game into action.
Heung-Min Son received a pass from Kane in the 38th minute of the second half and shot a shot with his right foot, but failed to score a goal in front of the goalkeeper.
