On May 23, dawn broke in the east and an unprecedented feat was performed on the green field of London. In the final chapter of the Premier League, Son wrote his own legend with two consecutive brilliant shots. The South Korean star not only became the first Asian top scorer in the history of the Premier League, but also in the mouth of sports commentator Han Qiaosheng, won the highest praise:

When dawn fell on May 23, the Premier League came to an end with Tottenham Hotspur sweeping Norwich 5-0. In the victory, Son showed unrivaled athleticism, scoring like two sharp swords, pointing straight to the door of victory. He equaled Liverpool's Salah's goal tally with a double of 23, winning the Premier League Golden Boot award.

However, there is much more to this achievement for Son. Although he and Salah have scored the same number of goals, all of Sun's goals have come from movement, while Salah has five penalties to his name. Tottenham's penalty plays have gone to Kane, who has scored four of his 17 goals from the spot. As a result, Son's top scorer title carries more gold. He is the first Asian Golden Boot in the Premier League and even in Europe's top five leagues, and this honor not only belongs to himself, but is also a motivation and encouragement to all of Asia, especially the national football players.
