Former Arsenal star Martin Keon said Tottenham’s Son Heung-min had enough time to calculate the angles of his first goal, and also indicated that Thomas Partey’s shot during the second goal indicated that the team’s football mentality was not it was working.
Keon told the Daily Mail: “Son’s first goal was great, but no one faced him in an Arsenal jersey. He had enough time to pull out a protractor and calculate the angles of his shot.”
And he continued: “After the second goal was a copy of the first, Arsenal lost possession in a very advanced part of the field, and was sanctioned with a counterattack, Thomas Partey was out because he was injured, and that is proof that the football mentality is not working. “
“Arsenal defenders Kieran Tierney and Hector Bellerin flew forward as if they were playing as wingers. Suddenly, a ball came out and the position was 4v2 in Tottenham’s favor.”
“Was communication the reason? Arsenal encouraged the opposition to play that game.”
“Arsenal had a 70% possession rate, but Tottenham knew how to play without the ball, put up a shield, even Harry Kane had touches inside his team’s penalty area more than in the opponent’s penalty area,” he said.
