1st and 2nd place in PL's best decision making ability → "Crazy finisher!"

 Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan are the best finishers in the Premier League (PL). There are many scores, but if you look at the goals compared to expected scores, you can see his crazy decision-making power.


Britain's 'Football 365' highlighted Son Heung-min's decisiveness on the 11th (Korean time). “Erling Haaland? Mohamed Salah? The best finisher in the PL this season is Son Heung-min.” He said, "Son Heung-min has succeeded in scoring double-digit points in the PL for eight consecutive seasons. He is a great finisher. Looking at the expected score statistics, Son Heung-min made a mockery of the record."

Expected goals are the probability of scoring when a shot is taken to score a goal from a specific position and in a specific situation. If the score is higher than the expected score, it means that the decision was made in fewer situations. The opposite is interpreted to mean that there were many opportunities but many were not taken advantage of.

If you look at Son Heung-min's expected score so far, it is 6 goals. The actual score is 10 goals. That's a whopping +4 goals. Starting with a hat trick against Burnley, Son Heung-min has scored goals against major teams such as Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. He made everyone forget about Harry Kane as he scored so many goals. He scored 1 goal and 2 assists in the important match against West Ham United, ending a long winless streak.

Son Heung-min's decision-making ability has been outstanding since before. Even when he was the top scorer in the 2021-22 season, he was praised for his amazing scoring ability compared to expected scores. This season, he boasts excellent decision-making skills and has already scored double-digit league goals for eight consecutive seasons. This is a record that only 7 players in PL history have achieved. ‘Football 365’ said, “Son Heung-min is really enjoying soccer under coach Anger Postekoglou.”

Surprisingly, second place was Hwang Hee-chan. Hwang Hee-chan's expected score was 4 goals, but the actual number of goals was 8. Starting with the match against Brighton, Hee-chan Hwang has scored goals against Liverpool, Manchester City, and Aston Villa. He also scored a goal against Newcastle United, becoming the first player since Wolverhampton was founded to score in five consecutive home games. Hwang Hee-chan, who also scored goals in games against Crystal Palace and Fulham, competed at the top of the scoring rankings by reaching his 7th goal in the league. He also scored a goal against Burnley and is cracking the top scoring rankings.
