Was just thinking about Son's goal from running around the halway line and found more:
Son has scored from running from our own half before...
vs Tranmere in the FA Cup:
He also did it vs Leicester in the Prem last season:
Just after the halfway line vs Bournemouth in the Prem a couple of season ago:
Also he almost did it vs Chelsea in the Premier League, but he ran on to the through ball from Dele.. so would probably count as after the halfway line:
Also a very nice assist from running from the edge of his box in the bundesliga:
There are also a number of other goals I think in the bundesliga from running around the halfway line.. just don't have time to find them : )
2nd goal of a hattrick scored against former club hamburg nice run past 2 defenders and the keeper:
Troy Deeney is the most one-footed striker in the EPL: 126 of his 132 shots (95%) in the last four seasons were taken with his right foot. Manolo Gabbiadini (who is left footed) and Alexis Sanchez (right) are also extremely one-footed, both taking over 90% of their shots with their preferred foot. Sanchez has not taken a single shots with his left foot from outside the area in the last four years, which seems surprising for a player of his quality. At the other end of the spectrum we have Heung-Min Son and Pedro, both of whom take (and score) more than 40% of shots with their so-called weaker feet. Indeed, transfermarkt list both players as having no preferred foot -- I assume that they are right-footed because they both take penalties with that foot. Son is the only player shown in Figure 1 that is equally comfortable shooting with either foot from range: 43 of his 92 shots (47%) from outside the penalty area since the 2014/15 season have been on his 'weaker' left foot. He is the most two-footed attacking player currently playing in the Premier League. |
Jose having an obvious dig at him by saying that he is crying now as Rudiger must have some broken ribs, as he was crying after Gomes broke his ankle last time.
Son needs to toughen up a bit. If you are going to get a red card, fucking go for it. Don’t get sent off for being a toddler.
Total overreaction in here. Wasn’t a red card. Silly but petulance happens. 9 days out of 10 that isn’t a red.

Look at the various posts above - there is a clear overreaction. He clearly put his leg up, that’s about it. It was very little contact and in no way deserves a red card. Poor decision from a referee rather than Son being really in the wrong.You can debate the contact but he definitely lashed out and not for the first time, so he's put himself in a position multiple times to be shown a red card.
He's not a defender or midfield enforcer so there's no need for him to be doing that kind of thing.
Wouldnt say that's an overreaction.
Hmmmm no.Total overreaction in here. Wasn’t a red card. Silly but petulance happens. 9 days out of 10 that isn’t a red.
I’m not even sure what that means. At this point he has been one of the most effective player over the past 12 months - I’d say that warrants a benefit of the doubt?At this point, he doesn't get any benefit of the doubt.
He still reacts like a child on the pitch, possibly because he never played proper and manly football as a kid.He needs to get his shit together, that's obvious. He's not a dirty player, but the way he reacts on the pitch is costing us.
