Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min continues to light up the English Premier League with his silky skills.
He bagged two more goals and an assist on Sunday,... helping Spurs to a six-two win over Everton.
It's been an incredible season for the South Korean international,... but with a half a season to go,... he's eyeing the big prize: the EPL title.
Lee Seung-jae reports.
It's no wonder they call him 'Son-sational'.
Tottenham Hotspur's South Korean striker Son Heung-min scored his 7th and 8th goals of the EPL season on Sunday in Tottenham's crushing six-two win over Everton.
The win also gives Spurs their fourth straight victory.
Son's goals in the 27th and 61st minute,... along with his assist in the 74th,... prompted Who'sscore.dot.com to give Son a 9.9 match rating,... the highest he's received this season.
Son has been enjoying a remarkable year,... ranking 78th in the Guardian's list of best male footballers in the world in 2018,... and scooping his first EPL Goal of the Month award in November.
The 26 year-old has also enjoyed an incredible year with the national team,... scoring twice during the 2018 World Cup in Russia,... and leading South Korea to gold at the Asian Games,... earning him an exemption from mandatory military service.
But Sonny is still eyeing one more accomplishment this season: an EPL title.
With three points against Everton,... Tottenham is just two points behind Manchester City in second,... and six points behind Liverpool at the top of the standings.
With Tottenham Hotspur winning just two league titles in their history -- the last coming in the 1960-1961 season -- Son is desperate to keep his hot streak going and lead his team to EPL glory.
