Son Heung-min expressed his disappointing feelings about the game.
Tottenham Hotspur lost to Arsenal 0-1 in the fourth round of the 2024-25 Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 10 p.m. on the 15th. With the defeat, Tottenham will lose two consecutive games following the match against Newcastle United. Arsenal recovered from the Brighton draw and gained three points.
Son Heung-min played as a left winger. While Dominic Solanke, who had been injured, returned to the starting lineup, Son Heung-min took the left side. Brennan Johnson was in charge of the right wing. Rodrigo Bentancur, James Medicine, and Dejan Kulusevski were located in the midfield. Son Heung-min, Dominic Solanke, and Brennan Johnson started the attack. Ben Davies, Jed Spence, Radu Dragusin, Archie Gray, Pape Matar Sarr, Lucas Beribal, Wilson O'Dober and Timo Werner started on the bench. 토토사이트 추천
Coach Enze Postecoglou's pursuit of full-back movement to the center and half-space continued in the match against Arsenal. Son Heung-min was located near the left touchline and led the left attack by breathing with Destiny Udo. He tried to create opportunities by gaining the upper hand by competing with Ben White. During the fierce physical fight, the two teams collided, and Son Heung-min took the lead as Tottenham captain.
Tottenham didn't stage any significant attacks even though they had possession ratio. After losing a point to Gabriel Magalangis, Tottenham increased its number of attacks. They also placed Timo Werner on the left and Son Heung-min on the center. They took freer moves but failed to penetrate Arsenal's defense. In the end, Tottenham lost 0-1.
Son, who failed to take care of both the results and details, bowed his head. Son's critical evaluation was not good. "Football London provided opportunities to Dejan Kulusevski and Solanke. We moved to various places during the match, but failed to make an impact. We had difficulties," Son said, giving him a five-point rating.
"We had an advantage during the competition with White, but his performance faded. We struggled to secure an equalizer for Tottenham," the British Evening Standard said. "We had a good chance of catching White, but only the edge of the stadium is circulating," the British team said, adding five points.
Meanwhile, Son told the British media Sky Sports, "We dominated the game and are losing points in set pieces again following last season. It was disappointing. Fans must have felt the same way. We have to improve many things and we have to come together as it is a difficult moment."
"In order to score a goal in the final third, players need to take more responsibility and make the right decision. This is the most difficult part in soccer," Postecoglou said. "Most of them controlled the flow of the game and had chances, but failed to make use of them. The players who scored well lacked concentration this time. As a result, we failed to get a result," he said, pointing out areas that failed to take advantage of the opportunity.
