Tottenham lost 1-2 to West Ham in the 15th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 5:15 a.m. on the 8th (Korea time).
Having failed to accumulate points, Tottenham ranked fifth with 27 points (8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses). West Ham, which secured victory in enemy territory, ranked ninth with 24 points (7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses).
It was Tottenham’s futile come-from-behind defeat. Even though they were leading the game, they came from behind to concede two goals through error-making plays. Christian Romero scored the first goal in the 11th minute of the first half and continued to lead the game, but Jarrod Bowen scored the equalizer in the 6th minute of the second half. Then, Destiny Udogi’s back pass in the 29th minute of the second half allowed James Wardfraus to score a come-from-behind goal.
Son, who started as a forward striker, struggled, but failed to post an attack point only in the first shot. He limped off as a substitute in the 43rd minute of the second half, raising concerns over his injury.
According to “Amazon Prime,” Son said, “We lost the game. Whether or not we deserve better, defeat is not acceptable. Don’t lose while leading a game. You have to take responsibility as a player.”
“Although we scored the first goal, 1-0 was not enough. We should have won. There is no reason for fans to accept such a result. If we were leading 1-0, we should have put more energy into it. However, we failed and that’s why we lost.”
“If we have the flow to finish the game, we have to solve it better. But we lost and we have to overcome it again,” Son said. 파워볼게임
He stressed that he and his strikers are largely responsible for failing to score more goals. “In particular, our strikers should feel responsible for not finishing the game,” Son said. “It is very sad and disappointing for our fans. I want to recover quickly as a team.”
