Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who returned from a hamstring injury, was active on the ground, but couldn’t hit a single shot and had to watch the team’s draw.
Son Heung-min played 45 minutes after the second half of the 2020-21 season EPL round 30 away match against Newcastle United held at St. James’ Park in Newcastle, England on the 4th (Korean time).
On the 15th of last month, Son Heung-min, who collapsed from a hamstring injury in 18 minutes in the first half of the North London Derby against Arsenal, had a return to the ground after 20 days.
Son Heung-min, who was put in a situation leading 2-1, showed an ambitious appearance.
He pressed the opponent in front of him and showed a determination not to avoid strong struggles. The movement to aim for the space behind the defense wasn’t bad either.
However, the result was disappointing. Son Heung-min couldn’t record a single shot in the second half. In the counterattack situation, there was also a scene where teammate Eric Lamela did not give a pass. Motivated, but not sharp.
Tottenham lead 2-1 with Harry Kane’s multi-goal but scored an equalizer at the end of the second half and ended up in a 2-2 draw.
With 14 wins, 7 draws and 9 losses (49 points), Tottenham rose from 7th to 5th. If I won, it was a disappointing result because I could see to the fourth place, which is given the right to qualify for the European Football Federation Champions League next season.
European football statistics specialist’Huscore.com’ gave Son Heung-min the third lowest rating of 6.1 points in the team. The only scores lower than Son Heung-min were defender Davinson Sanchez (5.7 points) and Gareth Bale (6.0 points) who entered the last half.
Kane, who took the lead in EPL with two goals, scored the highest rating of both teams with 8.8 points.
After the game, the local journalist’Football London’ also gave a rating of 5, saying, “Son Heung-min returned from an injury and digested the second half, but it was difficult to give an impact.” Kane scored 8 points,
