Tottenham Hotspur beat Nottingham Forest 2-0 in the 17th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at The City Ground in Nottingham, England, at 5 a.m. on the 16th (Korea time). Son Heung-min, who came out on the left wing again, played 88 minutes until the 43rd minute of the second half, but failed to score an attack point.
In the second minute of added time in the first half, Hisalisson, who was rushing to the gate with Dejan Kulusevski’s left-footed cross from the right, scored a header and Tottenham ended the first half with a 1-0 lead.
In the 20th minute of the second half, Nottingham goalkeeper Matt Turner was embarrassed by Son Heung-min’s pressure and a kick went to Kulusevski, who went into the box and scored a bold right-footed shot to win Tottenham 2-0.
On the day, Son started as the left wing again following the match against Newcastle. Back then, Newcastle did not expect it because it had been a long time since he played as the left wing, and Son played well on the left with a simple play and an active one-on-one dribble breakthrough, completely playing into the opponent’s defense, with one goal and two assists. 사설 토토사이트
Especially, the way he played with Newcastle right full-back Trippier with two assists and dribbled one-on-one seemed to be a big warning to the Nottingham defense as well. On the day, multiple players protected Son so that if he catches the ball, he would not be able to defend one-on-one. Even if he gave up defending players nearby, he would not give Son a one-on-one situation.
Son Heung-min took over a long pass from the back and aimed for the back of the defense or tried to shoot actively, but failed to score an offensive point due to the defense that was so attached to him.
However, this threat of Son Heung-min made Tottenham’s other strikers comfortable, and eventually Hishalisson scored for the first time since Everton in May last year, as well as Kulusevski scoring with his right foot instead of his bowl.
Of course, it would have been nice if Kulusevski’s through-pass, which was a decisive opportunity in the first two minutes, had not been blocked by the goalkeeper, but Son Heung-min did his best and led the team to a long-running victory.
