16th goal in the league against Nottingham on the morning of the 8th
Son Heung-min challenges Nottingham to score his 16th goal in the league.
Attention is focusing on whether Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who had a hot March, can once again ignite the competition for the top scorer in the English Premier League (EPL).
Tottenham will play a home game against Nottingham Forest in the 32nd round of the 2023-24 EPL at 2 a.m. on the 8th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England.
Currently, Tottenham (57 points), ranked fifth in the league, is fiercely competing with Aston Villa (59 points), ranked fourth, who played one more game, for a berth in the UEFA Champions League next season.
In order to recapture the fourth place again, it is necessary to win at home against Nottingham (17th place), which is located in the middle and lower part of the league. As Tottenham has won the last two confrontations, expectations for 3 points are high again this time.
Naturally, attention is focused on the toes of Son Heung-min, the team's most prolific scorer and ace.
Son Heung-min became the first non-European player to play in Tottenham's 400 official matches through the match against West Ham in the 31st round. Unfortunately, he failed to score an offensive point in the game at the time, but after the milestone, he had a chance to properly shoot a gun in front of his home fans.

Son, who is tying for sixth in scoring with his 15th goal in the league, is aiming for a goal again after two matches. Currently, Son is only four goals shy of Erling Holan (19 goals, Manchester City), who is leading the league in scoring.
If he scores more than multiple goals against Nottingham, who is considered weak, he can once again enter the race for the top scorer.
Holan became the top scorer with 36 goals in the league last season, but his pace has slowed down a bit this season. He scored his 18th goal in the league at the Manchester derby held on April 4, but failed to score a goal for more than a month afterwards, before scoring a goal in a match against Crystal Palace on June 6.
On the other hand, Son Heung-min, who scored three goals and two assists last month, is so good at pace that he was nominated for the "Player of the Month" in March of the EPL.
In particular, Son Heung-min, who is good at driving, showed off his explosive scoring ability at the end of the league every season, so attention is being paid to whether he will be able to score a goal against Nottingham to lead the team to victory and jump into the competition for the top scorer. 스포츠토토
