Bet 365 did not. They paid out half for the outright and 1/4 for the EW. Fuming.

jut sent a complaint and will withdraw funds and close account .

Sky Bet same apparently, only paid out half

Imagine having the season Son had, and Salah only half arsing the 2nd half, and still people have this kind of mentality

To be a winger and score more than and to already break Defoe & Keane's PL score for Spurs...is just incredible

What makes this more special is, majority of those goals came in big moments against big teams and in some big away grounds.

Legend is a word that is thrown around so easily. But Son is a legendary for this football club in my eyes. I just hope he & Kane win trophies, starting next season

So so so happy for Son. Was heartbreaking watching him miss those chances and you could tell he was kinda gutted when Kulu scored the screamer rather than pass to him (not that the pass was on, anyway). To see him seal it with a screamer of his own was just perfect.

He's an absolute gift of a player and, even with all the articles saying "is Son underrated" recently...he's still somehow underrated.

I know a lot of people hate Xg, but according to the stats he's literally the biggest overperformer in Europe over the past 5 years in terms of taking his chances. Over that period he's been TWICE as good as Messi, Ronaldo, Mbappe, Haaland... everyone.

Fucking unreal player.


(Article is about 15 months old but he's kept it up since)

It's wrong to compare Salah and Son. Son is far more of a goalscorer than a dribbler and is scorer of spectacular goals. Salah can just go on these mazy run that leaves defenders in the dust and has a real knack for squeezing shots past keepers from some really acute angles.

I think it is the Messi-esque dribbling that is what gets Salah more attention.

23 goals with no penalties is an unbelievable return. I'm really happy he's got the golden boot to because it allows him to step out of the shadow of Kane now. Son has arguably been the better big game player of the two but no one sees him as second fiddle anymore. That's also credit to Kane in fairness for acting as a creator.

What makes Son so good is he is brilliant with both feet. He always has these streaks of goals and in this mood it is impossible to stop because you cannot simply show him onto his weaker foot. He doesn't have a weak foot.

I still can't believe some of the stuff people were saying about him earlier in the season about him not fitting into a Conte system.. that was wild.

Kulusevski picking up the playmaking duties has really freed up Son to do what he does best and not be as involved in build up.

Delighted that we've got another Golden Boot winner, Sonny especially.

But they mentioned this on MOTD last night... remember when Golden Boot winners used to get 30 goals per season?
