Son Heung-min, first goal in a month… 8th goal of the season in the North London derby between Arsenal |

First goal exploded in the 25th minute of the first half
Scored in 6 games since Manchester United in the League Cup

Tottenham Hotspur captain Son Heung-min scored the first goal in the ‘North London derby’ against Arsenal, scoring his 8th goal of the season.

Son Heung-min started and scored in the 25th minute of the first half in the 21st round away game of the 2024-25 English Premier League (EPL) against Arsenal held at the Emirates Stadium in London, England on the 16th (Korean time).

Tottenham, who had been one-sidedly pushed until the middle of the first half, changed the flow with Son Heung-min’s one shot.

Tottenham attacked with a cross from the right side in the 25th minute of the first half, which was cleared with a header by an Arsenal defender. Son Heung-min, who was near the penalty arc, connected the flying ball with a non-stop shot with his right foot, and the ball hit William Saliba’s leg and went into the goal.

This is Son Heung-min’s 8th goal this season. He scored a direct corner kick goal against Manchester United in the quarterfinals of the League Cup (Carabao Cup) on the 20th of last month and held a goal celebration for the first time in six official competitions.

Son Heung-min has scored 6 goals in the EPL this season, 1 goal in the UEFA Europa League, and 1 goal in the League Cup.

In addition, Son Heung-min scored his 9th career goal in the North London Derby, and his total EPL score was 126, putting him on par with former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane.
