He is solidifying his position as Tottenham's main striker with two consecutive league games.
Tottenham beat Manchester City 2-0 in the away match of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 23rd (Korean time). With this victory, Tottenham won its second consecutive game with five goals-no goals and a perfect game in its opening two games.
Tottenham completely overpowered Manchester City, one of the strongest teams in the game. Brennan Johnson's first goal in the 35th minute of the first half and João Palinha's additional goal in the extra time of the first half widened the gap, allowing no runs throughout the second half and maintaining the lead until the end.

One of the main players of the victory was Hishalisson. Hishalisson helped Johnson score the first goal of the game. In addition, he played various roles on the front line with three shots, a 100% success rate of long passes, two successful tackles, three recovery of ball ownership, and six successful contests. England's Football Insider was a thorn in the side. It is too much to emphasize how much trouble Hishalisson is for opposing defenders when he is in good condition. Hishalisson praised Tottenham for helping them with their first goal and then becoming a catalyst for their second goal.
The British Evening Standard also admired Hishali Song's performance. The media outlet said 'Hichalisson could have moved to Crystal Palace this week. However, manager Thomas Frank made it clear that he wanted Hishalisson to stay. Hishalisson started again even though Dominic Solanke recovered. Now there is no doubt who is Tottenham's ninth main player. Hishalisson proved Tottenham's decision right with two fouls in the opening 10 minutes of the game. He also almost scored twice with a header. He explained, 'Leaving the stadium amid boos from Manchester City fans, he showed proof of how good he was.

It's a perfect twist. This season, Tottenham was concerned about the absence of the offense after Son Heung-min's transfer. But there was a Hisalysong. Hishalisson, who scored multiple goals with a sensational right foot volley shot in the 10th minute of the first half and a brilliant bicycle kick in the 15th minute of the second half, added an attack point in the match against Manchester City to lead the team's attack.
After passing through Watford and Everton, Hishalisson joined Tottenham in 2022 with a huge transfer fee of 60 million pounds (about 112 billion won). His excellent activity, sharpness in front of the gate, and the right to provide were expected to perform. However, his performance was minimal. Hishalisson played 90 games in three seasons for Tottenham, scoring just 20 goals. However, Tottenham fans are raising expectations with their performances early this season to shake off their past regrets.

Global sports media The Athletic reported that `Hisalisson was an enigmatic player in the EPL,' adding that `He recently scored nine goals in nine starts at Tottenham's home stadium and has shown steady scoring ability. He showed a finish that reminded Harry Kane of, and most of all, he resembles Kane's finishing style. He proved that he could not only finish the world class, but also play the general role required as an EPL striker.
More attention is expected to be paid to whether it will be a season for Hishalisson, Tottenham's ugly duckling, to turn into a swan.
