Tottenham Hotspur's captain and key striker Son Heung-min (33) recorded two assists in the match, leading the team to victory.
Tottenham Hotspur achieved a 4-1 victory against Ipswich Town in Round 26 of the 2024-2025 Premier League at Portman Road in England on the 23rd at midnight (Korean time).
Son's two assists and Brennan Johnson's multi-goal performance played a decisive role. With this, Tottenham recorded three consecutive league victories and sits in 12th place with 33 points (10 wins, 3 draws, 13 losses). In contrast, Ipswich remains in 18th place with 17 points, unable to escape the relegation zone.
Son started as the left winger, as always. He showed active movement from the early stages of the match, creating opportunities. In the 12th minute of the first half, he used his skills on the left side to evade a defender and made a consolidation pass to the center. The first assist opportunity was thwarted as Beryval's shot was stopped by the opposing goalkeeper.
Six minutes later, in the 18th minute of the first half, Son once again delivered a sharp pass. After evading two opposing defenders in the box, he provided a perfect cross to Johnson, who calmly finished to score the opening goal.
Then, in the 26th minute of the first half, Son made a precise consolidation pass to Johnson after breaking through on the left, leading Johnson to attempt a shot that completed his multi-goals. With this assist, Son recorded his 9th assist in the league, achieving 10 goals and 10 assists for the season.
Ipswich was also not to be underestimated. In the 36th minute of the first half, Danso lost the ball in a dangerous area, which Hutchinson connected with a powerful left-footed shot to score one goal back. Afterward, Ipswich intensified their attacks in search of an equalizer, but their attempts were denied by Vicario's saves.
Just before the end of the first half, Son attempted a powerful right-footed shot in search of another goal, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper's save. Ultimately, Tottenham finished the first half leading 2-1.
In the second half, Ipswich continued to launch attacks. In the 15th minute of the second half, in a free-kick situation, Woolfenden pushed in a rebound, but the goal was canceled due to an offside call.
Tottenham made tactical changes by substituting Johnson and Udogie for Maddison and Porro in the 19th minute of the second half. In the 28th minute of the second half, Son was substituted for Scarlet and Odobert. Son handed the captain's armband to Maddison as he was substituted.
In the 32nd minute of the second half, Spens, receiving a pass from Maddison, recorded his first goal of the season with a powerful right-footed shot, extending Tottenham's lead to 3-1. Subsequently, in the 39th minute of the second half, Kulusevski broke through on the side and scored the fourth goal with a curling shot, sealing the victory.
Eight minutes of additional time were given, but no more goals were scored, and Tottenham won 4-1, continuing their three-game winning streak in the league.
With two additional assists in this match, Son recorded 10 goals and 10 assists in the league, once again proving his class. Leading the team as captain, Son has made significant contributions to Tottenham's upward trend with his shining performances in crucial moments.
Tottenham will face Brighton & Hove Albion in their next match, looking to continue their winning streak.
