Heung-min Son has propelled him into an exclusive Tottenham club, as the winger now sits level with one Spurs legend at the top of the club’s all-time Premier League assist standings.
For nearly a decade, Heung-Min Son has dazzled in the Premier League, offering not only his trademark goalscoring ability but also a remarkable knack for creativity.
The South Korean winger once again underlined his importance to the team with a pivotal moment in their 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium over the weekend.
This victory saw Spurs dismantle the reigning champions with clinical precision, and Son was a part of it all, delivering the assist for James Maddison’s second goal.
The goal came about after City had carelessly surrendered possession in a dangerous area, and Tottenham pounced with swift interplay.
The ball found its way to the Spurs captain, who calmly threaded a perfectly weighted pass into Maddison’s path, allowing the midfielder to lift a delightful finish over Ederson, this goal put the Lilywhites 2-0 up after twenty minutes.
The assist was not just another highlight in an already stellar career for the South Korean; it also brought him level with Darren Anderton at the top of Tottenham’s all-time Premier League assists chart.
According to StatMuse FC, in a tweet relayed on X, Heung-Min Son now shares the record for most Premier League assists in Tottenham history, tied at 66 with Darren Anderton, a club legend whose creativity epitomised Spurs’ style in the 1990s.
Heung-Min Son’s impact at Tottenham extends far beyond the numbers; his consistency and ability to perform in crucial moments make him invaluable. If Son maintains his current form, there is a genuine belief that he could guide Tottenham to a long-awaited trophy.
Son’s record-equalling assist highlights his continued importance to Spurs’ success, and with Spurs aiming to win some silverware this season, his leadership could be the difference between another season of near misses and genuine triumph.
Whether he becomes the outright assist leader in Tottenham history in the coming weeks or not, his place in the club’s folklore is already assured.
