Son Heung-min becomes the first Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals

Son Heung-min has now become the first Asian player to score 100 Premier League goals, with his remarkable curling effort against Brighton. The South Korean scored the first goal for Tottenham as they defeated Brighton 2-1. 

It hasn’t been an easy time for the forward, who has been in and out of the starting line-up. His form on the pitch has dipped a bit from his usual best, and his explanation after the game offered some clarity as to why that is. 

Son Heung-min scores 100th Premier League goal 

“This was something that I dreamed for. It is an amazing achievement which I wouldn’t have had without my team-mates. Scoring 100 goals in the Premier League is a massive thing.

“I was really emotional because I have had tough moments in the last few weeks. My grandad passed away and it was not easy. I want to send that goal to him,” Son Heung-min revealed to BBC Match of the Day. 

“I hope all the Asian players – especially in South Korea – look at this achievement and believe they can do it as well. It’s a good thing for Asia and I take a big responsibility to be a good example to help the young guys. I want them to believe an Asian player can do amazing things in the Premier League.”

Tottenham are currently in the battle to qualify for the Champions League, and will need their number 7 to rediscover his form in order to make it happen.
