‘Tottenham Ace’ Son Heung-min made a great success with a goal and an assist against West Ham, but the team missed the victory due to a lack of concentration in the last minute.

Son Heung-min scored a goal and an assist in the 2020-21 English Premier League (EPL) fifth round against West Ham at London Stadium in London on the 19th (KST), including the opening goal at 45 seconds from the start of the game. However, Tottenham drew 3-3 with 3 consecutive runs in the second half.

Son Heung-min, who started as a left-handed attacker, scored a goal in a counter-attack situation 45 seconds after the start of the match. Son Heung-min, who received a successful pass from Harry Kane, the so-called ‘soul mate’, scored the first goal with a shot with his right foot with Fabian Valbuena in front.

Son Heung-ming, who scored twice in a row after a multiple goal against Manchester United on Day 5, scored the EPL’s 7th goal and took the lead with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton).

Son Heung-min assisted Kane, who assisted his goal 7 minutes later. Son Heung-min passed Kane down the left wing in the middle, and Kane scored an extra goal by taking a shot from mid-range with his right foot. Son Heung-min assisted Kane’s goal for two straight games after Manchester United, helping him for the second time in the league. Son Heung-min added 1 goal and 1 assist on this day, scoring 8 goals and 4 assists in all competitions.

Tottenham, who went completely ahead with two first goals, raised their offense and added one more goal in the 16th minute of the first half. Kane scored the team’s third goal with a Sergio Regilon cross header from the left wing.

West Ham annoyed the Tottenham defense with a quick flanking with the start of the second half. The two teams exchanged attacks, but the accuracy of the spike pass and the shot was poor, so no goals were scored. In the 35th minute of the second half, coach José Mourinho changed the attack by subtracting Son Heung-min and putting Lucas Moura in.

The Tottenham substitution ended in failure. West Ham, which was picking up the offense, recovered a goal by heading a Valbuena cross off a cross from Aaron Cresswell in the 37th minute free kick situation in the second half. Tottenham’s own goal came in the second half of the 40th minute. Davinson Sánchez’s header to clear Vladimir Coupal’s cross from the right wing was Tottenham’s own goal.

West Ham increased their offense until the end of the game and tied the score just before the end of the game. Manuel Ranzini returned the ball to the corner with his right foot to score the equalizer.

Son Heung-min made no secret of his regret. In an interview right after the game, he said: “We dominated the game from the beginning and had a few more goals, and it was a real shock,” he said. “The tie feels like a loss.” “Football lasts 95 to 97 minutes, so you have to focus until the end.”

On this day, Tottenham missed the victory, but remained undefeated (6 wins and 2 draws) for 8 consecutive matches in all competitions. In the league, he finished sixth with 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss (8 points). Having escaped a dramatic loss, West Ham ranked 8th with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses (7 points).
