SON’s goal ended the first half of 10 referrals to Tottenham City

[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] Son Heung-min’s first goal again leads Tottenham.

Tottenham Hotspur leads 1-0 in the match against Manchester City on the ninth day of the Premier League of the 2020/21 season to be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on the 22nd (Korean time).

Tottenham went on to the 4-2-3-1 projection. In addition to goalkeeper Hugo Loris, Sergios Orie-Toby Alderweireld-Eric Dyer-Sergio Regilon, Pierre-Emil Huivier-Musa Sissoko, Stephen Berchwein-Tangwi Ndombele-Son Heung-min and Harry Kane were selected. .

Manchester City took the 4-3-3 squad. In addition to goalkeeper Ederson, the starters were Kyle Walker-Hubin Dias-Emeric Laporte-Juan Cancelu, Rodri-Kevin Debrainer-Bernardo Silva, Feran Torres-Gabriel Jejus-Ferran Torres.

From the beginning of the first half, Man City took over and put heavy pressure on Tottenham. Specifically, Ferran Torres, located on the left, was quite aggressive and registered the first shot in one minute.

Tottenham ran the game against Man City’s high market share and lowered the defensive line to counterattack. And this immediately led to Son Heung-min’s first goal.

Tottenham, who got a free kick in 4 minutes, was shortly connected with Ndombele, and Ndombele saw the space behind the city center and hit a roving pass to Son Heung-min.

After Son Heung-min got this, he was dribbled in a one-on-one situation with Ederson and took a 1-0 lead by shooting through Ederson’s crotch.

Man City felt embarrassed but continued to outperform Tottenham’s crouched defense, increasing their participation without being shaken.

In the 8th minute, Jejus pushed his way down the left wing and even tried to shoot, but Alderweireld was blocked. Kevin Debrainer’s subsequent shot hit Jejus and he was called offside, which he regretted.

In the 12th minute, Tottenham released the pressure from Man City and launched a counterattack. The Berchwein-Son Heung-min-Kane triangle pass was connected and Kane scored but was declared offside.

Man City also created a scoring situation. Rodri’s center came up the right after a corner kick in the 26th minute, and Jejus received it and connected to Laporte. Laporte, who was coming from a corner kick situation, scored with his left foot.

However, a VAR review was conducted on the field and referee Mike Dean confirmed whether Jejus was handball. It was recognized that Jejus reached out and received the ball, a hand foul was declared and the score was 1-0.

In the 40th minute, Kanselu connected Ferran to half space, but he fell and Marez tried to break the ball again. Even this was caught by Ferran who fell, but Jejus shot this ball but missed.

Tottenham managed to cover all the defending spaces of his teammates and defend in a one-on-one situation as if he had prepared all of the Man City attack patterns. Man City, on the other hand, tried to break through from the flanks to the center, or keep aiming for an early center from the flanks, but Tottenham’s defenses were blocked. Except for the Jejus handball scene, there was no definitive scene.
