In a situation where he ended up in a draw with Fulham, the lower-ranking team in the last round, and had been struggling in Sheffield in many ways, Tottenham struck him with a starting three-top of Son Heung-min-Kane-Steven Berchbain from the beginning.
In the 4th minute of the first half, Berchbain’s right-footed shot from the right of the penalty arc, after passing a pass with Kane, was saved by goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale.
In the following left corner kick situation, Son Heung-min, who played as the kicker, scored the correct cross, and Orie jumped inside the goal area and the ball received from the head shook the goal net and became the first goal.
Son Heung-min connected Kane’s pass in the 8th minute of the first half with an exquisite chip shot from the right side of the penalty area, but hit the goal and left a regret. It was another’goal bad luck’ following the last Fulham battle.
Tottenham led the trend, but Sheffield began to crack down on Tottenham’s defense little by little as time passed.
In the 29th minute of the first half, John Fleck’s pass followed by Oliver Burke’s right-footed shot from the right of the penalty arc shot the first ball into the front of Loris goalkeeper.
However, Tottenham continued their lead in the 40th minute on the back of Kane’s extra goal.

Tottenham, who gave up 61-39 possession in the second half, gave David McGoldrick a heading goal in the 14th minute of the second half, but three minutes later, Tanggi Ndombele’s’Wonder Goal’ poured cold water into Sheffield’s inspiring atmosphere. .
Ndombele, who exchanged the ball with Berchbain and penetrated the left side of the penalty area, was under check by opponents.
With this goal, Sheffield’s willingness to pursue was completely broken, and Son Heung-min received a pass from Kane in the 32nd minute of the second half and aimed at the goal again with a strong shot with a right foot left in the penalty area, but was caught in defense.
Son Heung-min was replaced by Carlos Vinicius after the team kept the lead by two goals and entered extra time in the second half.
