English professional football team Tottenham lost to Chelsea, putting their chances of taking part in next season’s Champions League even further away.

Son Heung-min, who roamed the field diligently, was repeatedly blocked by the defense and was unable to make a single shot.

Tottenham players, including Son Heung-min, were more desperate for a win, but Chelsea’s atmosphere was in the game from the start.

In the 5th minute of the first half, Van der Ben managed to clear the ball from the point where he was about to concede a goal.

Chelsea took the lead from a set piece in the 24th minute of the first half.

Chalobah’s header hit the net.

Son Heung-min, who gave up a single to Richarlison and played as a left winger, was constantly looking for opportunities, but was thwarted by the defense every time.

Tottenham’s shot following an organic pass at the end of the first half went wide of the goal.

In the second half, Tottenham launched an attack by breaking Son Heung-min’s ground 1-1, but it was not easy.

In the 13th minute, they managed to break the pressure and get close to the box, but were pushed back by the defence.

Tottenham changed three players in the 18th minute of the second half and installed Son Heung-min as the main player, but there was no result.

In the 27th minute of the second half, Jackson was allowed a second goal from a free kick position.

Son Heung-min, who was trying hard to stop the goal, overlapped with his teammate Hojbjerg.

In the end, a 2-0 defeat.

Tottenham, who recently lost three games in a row following games against Newcastle and Arsenal, have games ahead of them against the strong teams of Manchester City and Liverpool.

They are still 7 points behind 4th placed Aston Villa, who have played one more game, so they are almost out of the Champions League.

European football media mostly gave Son Heung-min a low rating, saying, “He looked tired and lacked confidence” and “He didn’t have much of an impact on the game.”
