[스포티비뉴스=박대현 기자 / 임혜민 영상 기자] Son Heung-min (28, Tottenham Hotspur) hit an injury reef.
19 minutes after the start of the game, he left the ground complaining of pain in his left thigh.
His team Tottenham also dropped his head with a painful turn-around loss in the’North London Derby’. As the team is focusing on entering the fourth place in the league to advance to the European Football Federation (UEFA) Champions League, difficulties are expected due to the loss of the sharpest weapon in the team.

The 17th minute in the first half of a tight battle with 0-0. Son Heung-min felt pain in the back of his left thigh while sprinting to receive the Toby Alderweireld Long Pass. I took off my feet three or four steps, but soon sat down.
When Son Heung-min fell, the face of director Mori Mourinho became dark. Quickly drop in Eric Lamela and run out of unexpected replacement cards early in the game.
Local media also reported on the news of Son Heung-min’s injury and delivered the future prospects of Tottenham covered with dark clouds. “Tottenham’s nightmare has begun,” Sky Sports reported. “For the Spurs, you’re losing an important weapon.”
Evening Standard, a regional magazine in the UK, also analyzed that “the injury that will be a huge blow to Mourinho given Tottenham’s remaining schedule and the importance of Son Heung-min.”
I realized Son Heung-min’s absence even immediately before Arsenal. Losing a winger with both determination and passing ability, Tottenham failed to defend Lamela’s opening goal in the 33rd minute, scoring two goals and defeating them 1-2.
Although Tottenham recently gained 3 consecutive wins in the league and 5 consecutive wins in the official game, he failed to add points in the rival game and maintained the 7th place in the league ranking (45 points), and was unable to close the gap with the top teams.
Chelsea entered fourth place, followed closely by West Ham and Everton, as well as defending champ Liverpool. In the news of Son Heung-min’s injury, the rivals who quarreled over Tottenham and the Champions Tickets met Hojae. It is the Premier League where the 4th place match became more interesting with’Son Heung-min’s foot variable’.
