The major Premier League matches were Tottenham vs Wolverhampton and Bournemouth vs Arsenal. Contrary to Tottenham Hotspur and Son Heung-min, who were anxious, Arsenal won again. Arsenal has been consistently showing good performances since pre-season this season, and I think it will produce good results in the end.
Heung-min Son, Tottenham Hotspur’s team, could not wash away the slump.
With Harry Kane’s winning goal, Tottenham won 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 difficult matches after the start of the Premier League, and took the 2nd place in the league with 7 points. 2022년10월1일 아스널 FC 토트넘 홋스퍼 FC

Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan’s ‘Korean Derby’, which had gathered fans’ expectations, was canceled due to mixed appearances, adding to the disappointment. I’m worried about Son Heung-min’s form, who played for a longer time than that.
Tottenham were only able to secure a 1-0 win in this match thanks to Kane’s winning goal. If you look at the contents of the game, you should think of it as a million luck.
On this day, Son Heung-min started as a left wing striker and did not show a good appearance. In the future, I think I will have to wash away the sluggishness by adding a goal or assist as soon as possible for my self-confidence.
On the other hand, Hwang Hee-chan showed a rather intimidating appearance as a substitute in the 36th minute of the second half when the team was lagging 0-1, but he could not prevent the team’s defeat due to lack of time.
Early in the game, Tottenham could not attack much due to Wolverhampton’s pressure, and Wolverhampton harassed Tottenham by increasing their possession of the ball in midfield.
Tottenham, who struggled throughout the first half, were able to show a little improvement in the second half.

In the 19th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min’s ball raised from a corner kick turned to Ivan Perisic’s head, and Kane scored again with his head. It’s still too early to judge, but I feel that Tottenham’s set pieces have improved quite a bit compared to last season as seen through the first three games.
With the goal in this match, Kane scored his 185th goal for a single club in the Premier League alone while wearing a Tottenham jersey, setting a new record for ‘the most goals for a single club in EPL history’. 2022년10월1일 아스널 FC 토트넘 홋스퍼 FC
(FYI, Sergio Aguero was previously number one in this category with 184 goals for Manchester City)
In addition, Kane scored the 1000th goal in Tottenham’s EPL home game with the goal of the day. I think it would have been better if it was Son Heung-min.
Arsenal won 3-0 away at Bournemouth. League 1st place
In the early morning of August 21st, Bournemouth and Arsenal returned to London with a 3-0 victory in the 3rd round of the Premier League. Personally, the flow of all Arsenal’s recent matches seems close to perfect.
This Bournemouth mission wasn’t much different from the previous games. In fact, the away team Arsenal could have been a little more burdensome because it was before Bournemouth, which has the smallest stadium in the Premier League, but they played well.

Arsenal lead 2-0 with an additional goal not long after the first goal.
The ball, which started with a dribble by Jejus in the 4th minute of the first half, led to Odegaard’s opening goal, and in the first 10 minutes, Odegaard made a multi-goal and widened the score of the game.
Arsenal were aiming for an extra goal, but in the 18th minute of the second half, Saliba, who received a pass from Xhaka, scored the third goal and secured a victory.

In the 26th minute of the second half, Jejus, who is now revered as the god of Arsenal, scored an additional goal, but was judged offside after a VAR review.
It is the first time since the 2004/05 season that Arsenal have won three consecutive games in their first three matches.
It’s still too early to make any conclusions and we are waiting for stronger opponents in the league, but it’s true that Arsenal’s matches this season so far are enough to make fans expect enough.
