[OSEN=서정환 기자] Son Heung-min (31, Tottenham) is not looking good.
Tottenham played an away match against Leicester City in the 23rd round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-2023 season at King Power Stadium in Leicester, England at 0:00 am on the 12th (Korean time) and lost 1-4. 5th place Tottenham (39 points) could not close the gap with 4th place Newcastle (40 points).
In the 14th minute of the first half, Rodrigo Bentancur scored the first goal, but Tottenham conceded four goals. Bentancur was ruled out for the 20th minute of the second half due to an injury. Suffering a cruciate ligament injury, he was diagnosed for six months and was out for the season.
The US’NBC Sports’ said, “Tottenham missed the opportunity to rise to fourth place. Antonio Conte returned from surgery, but the defense collapsed. Bentancur was even injured and left the field.”
“Kane has scored 17 goals and is 8 goals behind Erling Haaland. But no other Tottenham player has scored more than four goals. The lack of a consistent second option is why Tottenham have failed. If Kane explodes, Tottenham will win, but if he is silent, he is unlikely to win.”
In the end, he pointed out that Tottenham’s second option, Son Heung-min, is only scoring four goals this season. Son Heung-min played full-time against Leicester City, but failed to score a goal. / [email protected]
