Son Heung-min will break the 'worst record' in 115 years if he scores more than two goals against Sheffield
Will Son Heung-min really present the worst record. Tottenham Hotspur will face Sheffield United in the 38th round of the English Premier League in the 2023-24 season in Bramall Lane, England, on the 20th. Tottenham, who are currently ranked fifth, can confirm fifth place by shaking off the pursuit of Chelsea, who is ranked sixth, just by drawing in this match. Son is highly likely to start on the day. Having 17 goals and nine assists in the Premier League this season, Son will achieve his third career score of 10-10, when adding one more assist. However, Sheffield has to proactively block Tottenham's strikers, including Son Heung-min. This is because the team is about to set the worst record in the history of the English first division. Sheffield, which is currently at the bottom of the Premier League table, has allowed a whopping 101 runs this season alone. The number of runs is enormous, approaching three per game. The team that allowed the most runs in one season before this season since the launch of the Premier League was Swindon Town in the 1993-94 season. At the time, Swindon Town had allowed 100 runs in 42 games. Going further back, Leicester City has lost the most goals in a single season in the English top flight. According to the British media Sports Bible, Leicester City conceded a whopping 102 goals in the 1908-09 season. It is only one run behind Sheffield at the moment. Now, if Sheffield allows one run against Tottenham, they will set a record for most runs in a season. In addition, if they concede more than two runs, they will break the record for the first time in 115 years. Son Heung-min is aiming right at Sheffield's goal for Tottenham this time. If Son Heung-min scores in this match, it will give Sheffield the worst record in 115 years. Meanwhile, Tottenham had a disappointing season. After appointing Coach Enze Postecoglou ahead of the season, he briefly took the lead in the first 10 games of the season without losing any points. However, he displayed robust performances afterwards. In the last six games, he suffered from one win and five losses. As a result, Tottenham failed to win a ticket to the UEFA Champions League (UCL), which is given up to fourth place. Tottenham lost 0-2 against Manchester City on the 15th, widening its point gap with Aston Villa in fourth place to five. With one game left, it became impossible to keep up with Villa arithmetically, eventually failing to advance to the UCL.
