Sohn Heung-min’s ankle and 0 shots… Lose 0-3 to Man City

Son Heung-min (29, Tottenham) ran to bleed in his ankle, but only shot 0.

Tottenham lost 0-3 to Manchester City in Round 24 of the English Premier League in the 2020-21 season held at Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 14th (Korean time).

Son Heung-min started and played full-time, but failed to hunt for the 14th goal in the league. Three days ago, in the FA Cup round of 16 with Everton, he was physically difficult because he played full-time with 3 assists and extended extensions.

Tottenham, who ended three consecutive losses last weekend, went down one stair to 9th place (10 wins, 6 draws, 7 losses, and 36 points) with a defeat that day. On the other hand, Man City ran 11 consecutive victories in the league, running at the lead (16 wins, 5 draws, 2 losses, 53 points).

Man City Ilkai Gundogan was involved in all three goals. In the 23rd minute of the first half, Gundogan scored a penalty kick by Kicker Rodri. Gundogan scored an extra goal in the 5th minute of the second half with the assist of Raheem Sterling. In the 21st minute of the second half, Gundogan received a long pass from goalkeeper Ederson and beat Tottenham Davinson Sanchez and scored a key goal.

Tottenham struggled with Man City pressure. Son Heung-min even had to play the role of a side defender. In the middle of the 34th minute competition in the second half, Kanselu stud turned to Son Heung-min’s ankle. Blood marks were clear on Son Heung-min’s ankle. The referee did not give the card to Kanselu. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho said, “If a stud has a wound, it means a card. It didn’t seem like a red card, but a yellow card didn’t appear.”

Whoscore.com, a website specializing in soccer statistics, gave Son Heung-min the third highest score of 6.3 points in the team. Evening Standard gave Son Heung-min a score of 4 and said, “The sharpness that I showed in the last month has disappeared. He said he needs a break.”
