Sonny: “I said to Micky, ‘that’s your goal’”

Heung-Min Son quickly turned the spotlight on the provider of his second goal and the icing on the cake of our fine 4-0 win against Everton on Saturday.

In what must be one of our best assists in the Premier League era, Micky van de Ven picked the ball up on the edge of our penalty area before driving the length of the pitch and then sliding a pass into Sonny to drill home from the left angle.

It capped another impressive display from the Dutch defender, who looked in trouble in the first half when he fell awkwardly on his knee but recovered to produce a number of his now famed recovery runs to cut out any danger when Everton looked to go over the top in the second half, with his partnership with Cuti Romero at its best as we kept a clean sheet, not forgetting Cuti powering home a header on his 100^th appearance for us to make it 3-0 on 71 minutes.

Speaking to The Review Show afterwards, the skipper was typically all smiles after racking up goals 163 and 164 in such a convincing win. “I said to Micky, this is his goal. Look, when he was driving with the ball, I was just. I was running with him.

“Then I was thinking, ‘if you pass it now, I'm going to kill you’ because there was there was long way to run, and he had so much space. I was like, ‘commit Micky, commit, commit’ and he was committed, and he played a perfect pass. He was like a playmaker, making perfect a perfect pass.

“After I scored the goal, the fans were singing Micky's song. Cheers, Micky! I was very pleased but seeing Micky running like this and passing like this, it has to be Micky's goal. So, yes, I'm very, very happy and grateful having this amazing defender behind me.”
