Top Contenders for the Premier League Golden Boot: March 2019

#9 Son Heung-Min (South Korea, Tottenham Hotspur)

Tottenham Hotspur v Leicester City - Premier League

Goals Scored - 11

The South Korean has been prolific so far this season and is among the top contenders for the first time this season. Son took some time to get off the mark and scored his first goal at the end of November last year, against Chelsea. It kick-started a fantastic run where he scored 8 goals from 9 games.

Son started the month of February by scoring the only goal in the 1-0 win over Newcastle. He was among the goals once again in the following game, against Leicester, scoring one of Tottenham's three goals in a comfortable win. However, he failed to score in the next two games against Burnley and Chelsea, and Tottenham lost both games.

Son has now scored 11 goals from 22 games and has also registered 6 assists. He is averaging a goal every 138 minutes played so far and has recorded 38 shots on goal, 22 of which have been on target. At the start of March, the South Korean is 9th in the race to the Premier League Golden Boot.
