Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur) has once again etched his name in the history of the English Premier League (EPL). He recorded a total of 70 goals and 70 assists in the EPL, joining the ‘elite club’ that only 11 players in the league’s history have reached.

Son Heung-min becomes a new legend of the EPL.

On the 23rd (Korean time), Tottenham defeated Ipswich 4-1 in the 26th round of the 2024-2025 EPL held at Portman Road in England. In this match, Son Heung-min perfectly assisted Brennan Johnson’s two goals, recording his 8th and 9th assists of the season.

With this, Son Heung-min has accumulated a total of 126 goals and 71 assists in the EPL, achieving the remarkable feat of 70 goals and 70 assists. This is a record reached by only 11 players in EPL history, placing him alongside legendary players such as Wayne Rooney, Thierry Henry, and Frank Lampard.

The rare ’70-70 Club’ in the EPL

In the EPL, there are only 52 players who have scored more than 70 goals, and just 17 players who have recorded more than 70 assists. However, only 11 players have met both criteria. Son Heung-min has proudly joined that rare list.

Remarkably, even the all-time top scorers in the EPL, Alan Shearer (360 goals, 64 assists) and Harry Kane (213 goals, 46 assists), have not reached 70 assists. Conversely, former assist king Cesc Fabregas (50 goals, 111 assists) and David Beckham (62 goals, 80 assists) also did not reach 70 goals.

In other words, the ’70-70 record’ that Son Heung-min has achieved can only be accomplished by a ‘balanced player’ who consistently performs well in both goals and assists.

Still a key player this season!

Despite Tottenham having a somewhat inconsistent season, Son Heung-min continues to be the backbone of the team. In 35 official matches this season, he has recorded 10 goals and 10 assists, successfully joining the ’10-10 Club’ for the fifth time in his career.

Although Tottenham’s recent performance has not been as good as expected, putting pressure on Son Heung-min, he continues to prove his value as a problem solver and the best assistant. Now that he has set the remarkable record of 70 goals and 70 assists in EPL history, what could his next goal be?

Will a new history be made in the next match? We are looking forward to Son Heung-min’s journey even more!
