Yang Min-hyeok (19, QPR) is raising the hopes of Tottenham Hotspur fans with his outstanding performance.
'Spurs Web,' which mainly covers Tottenham Hotspur news, reported on the 13th (Korea Standard Time) that 'Tottenham forward Yang Min-hyeok, currently on loan at Queens Park Rangers (QPR), scored his second goal,' highlighting Yang Min-hyeok's goal.
On the 10th, Yang Min-hyeok came on as a substitute in an away match against Oxford United at the Kassam Stadium in Oxford, England, for the 41st round of the 2024-2025 Championship (England's second division) and scored a crucial goal just before the end of the match, sealing the team's 3-1 victory.
With this victory, QPR secured a win after eight matches, accumulating 49 points (12 wins, 13 draws, 16 losses) and settling in 15th place in the league, widening the gap with the relegation zone. QPR, leading 2-0 after a goal from Ronnie Edwards in the 7th minute and an own goal by the opponent in the 42nd minute, wobbled after conceding a goal in the 17th minute of the second half but managed to hold onto their victory with Yang Min-hyeok's insurance goal.
In the first minute of added time in the second half, Yang Min-hyeok received a pass from Kamal Sowah during a counterattack and struck the ball with his left foot, hitting the post and shaking the net. It was a goal that showcased perfect precision and timing. This goal marked Yang Min-hyeok's second goal in the league and his second attacking contribution since joining QPR on loan.
After the match, QPR's official social media shared news of Yang Min-hyeok's goal along with a message he left for the fans. Yang Min-hyeok expressed, 'The team's performance was perfect, and I sincerely thank all the fans for their support.'
'Spurs Web' noted, 'Since transferring on loan from Tottenham to QPR in January, Yang Min-hyeok is gradually making his presence felt in the Championship, demonstrating why Tottenham brought him straight from the K League. He scored his debut goal for QPR two weeks ago against Stoke City and has since been showing increasing adaptation to the team, consistently receiving positive evaluations.'
It added, 'Media covering QPR have also praised his performance, and this second goal not only boosts his popularity among QPR fans but also creates anticipation for the future among Tottenham fans.'
The media shared a video of Yang Min-hyeok's goal, stating, 'Yang Min-hyeok was substituted in the 64th minute of the away match against Oxford United. At that time, QPR was leading 2-1. Just before the end of the match, QPR launched a counterattack, and Yang Min-hyeok, who penetrated forward, sent a precise shot with his left foot from a tight angle that struck the lower corner of the goal. It was a scene that would remind Tottenham fans of Son Heung-min's trademark goal.'
'Spurs Web' emphasized, 'This goal holds special significance for Yang Min-hyeok. A few days ago, he made his first appearance for the South Korean national team in an A-match, finishing in a 1-1 draw against Jordan. Immediately after his A-match debut, he scored a goal for his club. Yang Min-hyeok is expected to return to Tottenham's training ground, Hotspur Way, after this season ends. Given his confident state, he is preparing to leave a strong impression during the summer preseason and compete for a spot in the first team.'
Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur, Yang Min-hyeok's original club, highlighted his goal on the club's official website, stating, 'He created another decisive moment after his earlier goal against Stoke City. It will be a valuable experience for him.'
