Son Heung-min played full-time in the English professional football Premier League (EPL) for the first time in two months, but his team Tottenham fell into a winless swamp for four consecutive games.
Son Heung-min and Tottenham, who suffered their 16th losses this season, have made a new history in 48 years since 1977.
Tottenham lost 0-1 to Chelsea in an away match in the 30th round of the EPL at Stamford Bridge in London on the 4th (Korea Standard Time).
Son Heung-min, who was a substitute in the second half of the last three games, started as a left-wing striker and played until the end of the game. It is the first time in two months that Son Heung-min has played full time in the league since the 24th round match against Brentford on February 2.
Son Heung-min did not perform well in the first half. He did not even try to shoot properly, nor did he create notable attack opportunities.
He attempted a sharp cross once in the 35th minute of the first half, but his only performance in the first half was blocked by goalkeeper Robert Sanchez.
Son Heung-min, who rarely showed his presence until he induced a free kick in the 35th minute of the second half, faced a dramatic equalizer in the 45th minute of the second half, but it did not lead to a goal.
When Brennan Johnson poked a ground ball cross in the left penalty area, Son Heung-min, who ran toward the opposite goal, slid and tried to push the ball into the corner of the net, but goalkeeper Robert Sanchez also blew himself out and blocked it.
Football statistics magazine Footmob gave Son a 6.2 rating and Huscoordcom gave him a 5.97 rating. According to Footmob, Son performed poorly, recording one big chance miss, 0 percent success rate of cross and long pass, and one turn over.
As a result, Tottenham (34 points) ranked 14th fell to a losing streak, and recently had one draw and three losses in the league, continuing its winless streak for four games. Chelsea (52 points), which has three points, has risen to fourth place.
Tottenham, which was behind Chelsea in overall indicators, had only two first-half shots themselves, and there were no effective shots.
Tottenham was shaken from the beginning of the first half. In the first minute of the match, Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson hit a threatening shot with a long pass, which shocked the crowd by hitting the post. Chelsea shook Tottenham with constant pressure and penetration. In the 18th minute, Fernandez had a decisive chance but Vicario managed to block it.
Tottenham, which finished 0-0 in the first half by blocking Chelsea's offensive, allowed Enso Fernandez to score the first goal in the fifth minute of the second half. When Cole Palmer crossed with his left foot on the left side, Enso rushed into the front of the net and finished with a strong header.
Tottenham seemed to lose another point in the 11th minute of the second half due to Moises Caicedo's right foot volley, but the VAR ruled it offside and swept its chest.
Tottenham, which passed the crisis to VAR, lost the opportunity to tie the game as their score was canceled to VAR this time.
In the 24th minute of the second half, Pape Sarr competed with Caicedo near the center circle and drove the ball to the Chelsea net to shake the net, but VAR confirmed that Sarr kicked Caicedo's knee, so the goal was canceled and Sarr was warned. 온라인바카라
Tottenham, which failed to score in the 45th minute of the second half when Son Heung-min's sliding shot was also blocked by the goalkeeper's good defense, eventually failed to get a point in the London derby.
At the end of the second half's extra time, Pedro Porro's cross hit the Chelsea defense, but there was also a scene where Porro was warned after protesting as the referee declared a goal kick.
