The hat trick by Heungmin Son

Witnessing the hat trick by Heungmin Son

One of my pastimes is to watch Premier League soccer games streaming every week or sometimes on weekdays. I find myself looking forward to watching Heungmin Son playing in tournaments. My heart is greatly affected by the outcome of each game.
I am a fan of Heungmin Son, who plays for Tottenham Hotspur. I have always considered traveling to London to watch him play in front of my eyes.


My two sons and I planned to meet in London in early September. We all live in different cities and continents. It is not easy for all of us to be in the same place and at the same time together. As we age, we become more distant from one another for various reasons.


We booked two major soccer games for Tottenham Hotspur. One was against Manchester City, and the other was against Leicester. Unfortunately, the first game was canceled due to the passing of the queen, who passed away on the very day we arrived in London. We waited impatiently to know what would happen to the other game against Leicester. It was fortunate that the game was played. I became emotional to watch the game with my eyes, especially with my two sons.

Heungmin Son drew much criticism since he had not scored any goals during the season. He had to be on the bench for the game against Leicester. He was allowed to play in the second half of the game, though. We prayed that he would score only one goal this time.

It was unbelievable to see him score the first goal in my own eyes. But it was not all. He scored three goals during the game, and the entire stadium was filled with delight and astonishment. We couldn’t believe what we were seeing. In front of our eyes, he scored a hat trick.

We will never forget this trip. It was my first trip with my two sons after they became adults. We were together in the stadium when Heungmin Son scored his hat trick. The day was Sept 17, 2022.
