Son Heung-min’s goal against Leicester 토토사이트 City was named ‘Goal of the Year’ at the London Football Awards.
On the morning of the 14th (Korean time), the ‘2023 London Football Awards’ was held. It consists only of clubs located in London, England, and is an awards ceremony for 16 teams, including Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur.
Major awards include ‘Premier League Player of the Year’, ‘Goal of the Year’, ‘Goalkeeper of the Year’, ‘Manager of the Year’ and ‘Young Player of the Year’.
Tottenham’s Son Heung-min entered the top 5 candidates for ‘Goal of the Year’. The goal selected was the score in the 8th round of the English Premier League (EPL) against Leicester last September. In the 28th minute of the second half, Rodrigo Bentancur took the ball from the half-line camp and immediately gave it to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min drove to the front of the penalty arc and kicked with the defender in front. The ball passed the goalkeeper’s outstretched hand and shook the net.
It was also Son Heung-min’s first EPL goal this season. Perhaps it was a lot of trouble with no goals being scored in the league, after taking a few steps during the ceremony, it stopped within seconds. Then he nodded his head and stared into the distance with an expressionless expression. Son Heung-min continued his momentum and completed a hat-trick in 13 minutes, leading the team to a 6-2 victory.
The final winner was Son Heung-min. Michael Olise (Crystal Palace), Ismaila Sar (Watford), Paul Smith (Leyton Orient), Laura Binreuter (Arsenal Women) beat. Previously, in 2020, he had received the award for a 70m run goal against Burnley. In addition, Son Heung-min was also the ‘Premier League Player of the Year’ in 2019.
Meanwhile, ‘Premier League Player of the Year’ was Martin Odegaard (Arsenal), ‘Goalkeeper of the Year’ was Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal), ‘Manager of the Year’ was Mikel Arteta (Arsenal), and ‘Young Player of the Year’ was second. It was Kayo Saka (Arsenal).
