Son Heung-min expressed frustration that he did not win despite the first goal in five consecutive games.
Tottenham suffered a 1-2 reversal in the 15th round of the 2023-24 Premier League against West Ham United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 8th. In the face-off against West Ham United, Romero scored the first goal early in the first half, but during the second half, West Ham's Bowen and Ward-Frouse scored consecutive goals, ending the game with a come-from-behind defeat.
Through the Amazon Prime, Son said, "We were uncomfortable. We suffered an unacceptable defeat. We scored the first goal in five consecutive games, but we lost the game. Players should be responsible," adding, "West Ham have always been a difficult team to play against, but we have not been able to respond firmly. In particular, even if the team leads 2-0 and 3-0 in the Premier League, we do not know what will happen in the end of the game." In particular, "Players should be responsible. If we are leading 1-0 in terms of scores early in the game, we should show more energy. We failed to do that, and that is why we lost the game," he added.
Son had a shot on target once in the match against West Ham, but failed to score a goal. Son was also suspected of being injured in the match against West Ham. Son collapsed after colliding with West Ham's Copal in the 37th minute of the second half. With Son keeping his ball, the copal intentionally collided strongly with Son, who collapsed complaining of pain. Son was later replaced at the end of the second half while he was seen limping. "It is okay," Son said after the match, but added that "it remains to be seen." "He felt a bit of pain after the match. We will wait and see how Son recovers," Tottenham manager Postecoglou said. 스포츠토토
Tottenham led 75-25 in ball possession against West Ham, but suffered a come-from-behind defeat as it collapsed due to the opponent's fastball. Tottenham is the first team in Premier League history to fail to win even after scoring the first goal in five consecutive matches. Tottenham, which has been unbeaten in 10 consecutive Premier League matches at the beginning of this season, led the league by five points ahead of second-place Manchester City since its victory over Crystal Palace in October, but it has fallen to fifth place in the league with one draw and four losses in the last five games in which it scored the first goal. Tottenham has not won since midfielder Madison and defender van der Ben were injured together in the 11th round of this season's Premier League against Chelsea.
While Tottenham ended its last five games with four come-from-behind defeats, Postecoglou said, "It is not a good performance to be ahead 1-0 at halftime. A good game is to finish a game with a 3-4 goal difference. If you fail to do so and miss the chance to score, you will have to pay for it."
