[엑스포츠뉴스 김정현 인턴기자] When Son Heung-min went out, the pattern of conceding was repeated.
Son Heung-min selected for the away game between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Tottenham Hotspur in the 15th round of the 2020/21 season held at Molynew Stadium on the 28th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min tried to shoot with a quick penetration at the start of the first half, and Ndombele’s opening goal came in the process of handling the following corner kick.
Son Heung-min led the attack on Tottenham throughout the game by threatening the opponent’s defense. With the presence of Son Heung-min alone, the Wolverhampton defender marked more than one person to provide space to his colleagues.
In the second half, as Tottenham started with a defensive game operation, there was no particular scene where Son Heung-min would be active aggressively.
In the 62nd minute, Sergio Regilon was eliminated and Stephen Berchwein entered, and Tottenham switched to a hundred fours and attempted aggressive game management again.
At this time, Son Heung-min’s influence increased again, and he moved forward from the right flank while matching with Ndombele to increase his share in the attacking camp.
However, coach Jose Mourinho replaced Son Heung-min with Eric Lamela in the 82nd minute. Shortly thereafter, in the 86th minute, Tottenham equalized with a header shot to opponent Roman Sais in a corner situation.
This wasn’t the first time that Son Heung-min scored after he went out as a substitute. Starting with a 1-1 draw against Newcastle in the third round of the league, and 3-0 before West Ham in the fourth round of the league, three goals were allowed to draw after 80 minutes.
I also drew a 3-3 match from 2-1 against LASK Linz in the UEFA Europa League group stage on the 4th.
In the league as well, in the 90th minute after subtracting Son Heung-min from Liverpool in the 13th round against Liverpool, he allowed Roberto Firminu to score a reverse goal and was pushed out of the important lead competition.
If Tottenham also won this game, Tottenham could climb to 3rd place, but it ended up reaching 5th place by allowing a tie at the end of the second half.
