Is this the era of Son Heung-min? Tottenham Hotspur of the English Premier League reportedly recorded the highest winning percentage in the recent five seasons without Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), drawing keen attention from fans.

Tottenham beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 in the 32nd round of the 2023-24 EPL at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the morning of the 8th (Korea time).

Tottenham took the lead with an own goal from their opponent in the first half of the day, but their defense collapsed and allowed Chris Wood to score an equalizer.

However, in the second half, Tottenham defenders Mickey van der Pen and Pedro Porro grabbed the upper hand by scoring back-to-back goals. Son took the lead by helping van der Pen score with a calm pass.

With this victory, Tottenham recorded its 18th win (6 draws and 7 losses) in the league and finally ranked fourth (60 points). It is the first time in about two months that Tottenham ranked fourth since February. It has the same point as fifth-place Aston Villa (60 points), but since Tottenham played one less game, it is an opportunity to widen the gap. The gap with third-place Manchester City (70 points) is 10.

Meanwhile, Tottenham’s rise has been remarkable with its records. StatMuse, a sports statistics outlet, said on Tuesday that Tottenham lost Kane last summer, but regained fourth place. Their winning percentage this season is higher than that of the previous four seasons with Kane.

In fact, Tottenham ranked sixth (16 wins), seventh (18 wins), fourth (22 wins), and eighth (18 wins) in the league over the past four seasons. However, it has already won its 18th title based on 31 matches this season. If it adds four more wins in the remaining seven matches, it will have better performance than the 2021-22 season under former Italian coach Antonio Conte.

Son Heung-min is definitely leading Tottenham in an upward trend. He has three goals and four assists in eight games in 2024. His season record is 15 goals and nine assists, but he seems to be showing off his hot toes in the second half.

The key to Tottenham is its remaining schedule. Tottenham will meet Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool one after another after an away match against Newcastle on Thursday.
