Son Heung-min achieved two assists in a single match, marking his fifth career season with "10 goals and 10 assists." This achievement also made him the eleventh player in Premier League history to reach 70 goals and 70 assists, a feat previously accomplished by players such as David Beckham, Alan Shearer, Harry Kane, and Michael Owen, who were unable to achieve this milestone.
The 33-year-old forward began Tottenham Hotspur's away match against Ipswich Town on February 22, playing for 74 minutes and providing two assists in a 4-1 victory that extended Spurs' league winning streak to three matches.
Son opened the scoring in the 18th minute, skillfully controlling a long pass from Archie Gray before outmaneuvering two defenders and delivering a precise cross for Brennan Johnson to finish with his right foot. Johnson scored again in the 26th minute, again assisted by Son. This time, Son broke into the left side of the penalty area and played a precise pass across the goal for Johnson to slot home with his left foot.
Tottenham conceded only once in the 36th minute, but ultimately secured the victory with goals from Djed Spence in the 77th and Dejan Kulusevski in the 84th.
Son now has a total of 10 goals and 10 assists in 35 appearances across all competitions this season. In the Premier League, he has scored six goals and provided nine assists. He has also scored three goals in six UEFA Europa League matches, made one assist in the FA Cup, and scored one goal in the EFL Cup. This is his fifth season with 10 goals and 10 assists, following similar achievements in the 2017-18 (18 goals, 11 assists), 2019-20 (18 goals, 11 assists), 2020-21 (22 goals, 17 assists), and 2023-24 (17 goals, 10 assists) seasons.
The son also achieved the 70-goal, 70-assist milestone in the Premier League, with 126 goals and 71 assists in 326 appearances. Only 10 players had accomplished this feat before him: Teddy Sheringham (146 goals, 76 assists), Wayne Rooney (208 goals, 103 assists), Frank Lampard (177 goals, 102 assists), Ryan Giggs (109 goals, 162 assists), Andy Cole (187 goals, 73 assists), Dennis Bergkamp (87 goals, 94 assists), Steven Gerrard (120 goals, 92 assists), Thierry Henry (175 goals, 74 assists), Mohamed Salah (181 goals, 84 assists), and Kevin De Bruyne (70 goals, 118 assists).
Among active players, only Salah, De Bruyne, and Son are members of this exclusive group. Even Premier League all-time leading scorer Shearer (306 goals, 64 assists), Kane (213 goals, 46 assists), Owen (150 goals, 31 assists), and Beckham (62 goals, 80 assists) failed to reach this record.
