“SON substitute out, a decision Tottenham fans can’t understand”

[스포탈코리아] Reporter Ban Jin-hyuk = Substituting Heung-min Son out is not understandable.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Brighton Albion 1-0 at 1:30am (Korea time) on the 9th in the 10th away match of the English Premier League (EPL) season 2022/23. As a result, they finished third in the league.

Heung-Min Son was the initial sortie. He showed lively and sharp movement. A pass in the 22nd minute of the first half led to Harry Kane’s goal. This was the moment to record the second assist of the season.

Son Heung-min also focused on scoring. In the 28th minute of the second half, a mid-range shot connected with his left foot, which is his unique strength, and was sucked into the goal. However, he was disappointed with the offside statement.

Afterwards, he moved aggressively and showed his presence by connecting key passes. He was later replaced by Ivan Perisic at 35 minutes of the second half and left the field.

British media ‘The Hard Tackle’ gave Son Heung-min a score of 8 and said, “He was Tottenham’s best player. He provided the perfect pass for Kane’s goal. They rattled the net, but the goal was not scored.”

“I got my place from Perisic, but it was a decision that the Tottenham fans in the stadium did not understand.”
