Son Heung-min's record vs. Southampton

Ahead of Tottenham Hotspur's Premier League clash with Southampton, Sports Mole takes a closer look at Son Heung-min's record against the Saints.

Tottenham Hotspur will be out for a second win on the bounce in the Premier League when they travel to Southampton on Tuesday evening.

The Lilywhites prevailed 3-0 in their Boxing Day derby with Crystal Palace, during which Son Heung-min scored the third and final goal on the day.

The South Korea captain now has eight goals for the Premier League season, and he certainly knows how to find the back of the net in this fixture.

Here, Sports Mole takes a closer look at Son's record against Southampton ahead of Tuesday's encounter at St Mary's.

From his 13 games against Southampton in all competitions, Son has racked up a total of 11 goals, with the South Korea international scoring more times against the Saints than any other side he has faced.

Son also has four assists to his name in this fixture and has been on the winning side nine times, as well as drawing two and losing two to the South Coast outfit.

Away from the Premier League, Son has faced Southampton twice in the FA Cup in the 2019-20 season, during which he scored in the original 1-1 draw and replay in the fourth round, which Spurs ultimately won 3-2.

Son would also find the back of the net against Southampton during his debut season with Spurs in the 2015-16 campaign, but that strike at White Hart Lane was cancelled out by a Steven Davis double in a 2-1 defeat.

The former Bayer Leverkusen man would gain revenge by scoring in a 4-1 win for his side at St Mary's in the 2016-17 season, and he then proceeded to score one and set up two more in a 5-2 victory at Wembley on Boxing Day 2017.

Son's strong home form against the Saints continued with a goal in a 3-1 home win during the 2018-19 season, although he would only play 18 minutes as a substitute in a 2-1 defeat at St Mary's later that year.

When the 2019-20 season rolled around, Son set up Tanguy Ndombele's opener in a 2-1 home win, but he was then forced to miss the 1-0 loss at St Mary's through suspension.

However, the 29-year-old returned to the South Coast with a bang last term - scoring four in another 5-2 romping - but it would take something truly special for Son to replicate that extraordinary showing in midweek.
