However, Tottenham failed to rebound again in the English Premier League (EPL). Tottenham lost 1-2 in the 23rd round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season against Leicester City, a relegation zone, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 26th (Korea time).
It is the fourth consecutive EPL victory and seven consecutive games (one draw and six losses). In the last 11 EPL games, it has only one win (two draws and eight losses). The ranking also remains at 15th place (24 points).
The fear of relegation is not 'no way'. Leicester added three points on the day, moving from 19th to 17th (17 points), the remaining Maginot line.
16th-ranked Everton have won two consecutive games and scored 23 points. You have a chance to catch Tottenham by playing one less game. Tottenham has eight points difference from Wolverhampton (16 points), which is ranked 18th in the relegation zone.
Tottenham succeeded in turning the tables with a 3-2 victory over Hoffenheim in the Europa League on the 24th, just two days ago. But the EPL was different again.
Coach Enze Postecoglou pulled out a 4-3-3 card. Son Heung-min, Hishalisson and Dejan Kulusevski were in the front three-top, while Rodrigo Bentancur, Papesar and Lucas Beribal were paired in the midfield. Archie Gray, Ben Davies, Radu Dragusin and Pedro Porro built the four-back, and Antonin Kinski kept the goal.

We got off to a good start. Son Heung-min shook Leicester's blood with a powerful right footed shot in the 18th minute of the first half. He caught the ball from the left side of the penalty area, beat two opponents, dug into the center, and fired a shot, but the goalkeeper managed to hit it.
Son Heung-min hit the crossbar in the 32nd minute of the second half. When the ball to the left flowed in the free kick situation, Son Heung-min aimed over the goalkeeper's head with a sensational shot. But the ball couldn't get into the goal after being hit by the crossbar.
Following the momentum, Tottenham's first goal was scored. It was 33 minutes in the first half. Hisalisson flooded the prisoner's cross and shook the net with a header. Tottenham finished the first half with a 1-0 lead.
However, Leicester turned the tables in five minutes at the start of the second half. In the first minute of the second half, Jamie Vardy rushed to Bobby Reid's cross and put his foot on it to open the goal. Leicester scored an upset goal four minutes later.
It was a counterattack again. Bilal El Cannus' mid-range shot was put into Tottenham's net. Tottenham put Mikey Moore and Sergio Reguilon in place of Sar and Hishalisson in the 9th minute of the second half.
Son Heung-min moved to the one-top. However, Leicester skillfully dragged on and engaged in a war of nerves, and Tottenham finally failed to open the goal.

Son Heung-min scored two goals in the match against Hoffenheim. But the game against Leicester was different again. It was silent. "It's always hard to score after the game. If you don't score like today, you feel more frustrated than usual. Today was such a day. I think I made a wrong judgment while feeling a little frustrated. So it was a more disappointing game." In the case of Porro, despite the decisive cross opportunity in the second half, he over-fired twice in the square area, drawing criticism.
Regarding the loss situation, Son Heung-min said, `It hurts to say it, but this has happened a few times this season. It's really hard to score points, but I think it's too easy to score points. That's why I'm upset. I haven't looked back exactly since the game just ended, but I think there was definitely a part of concentration. There were some mistakes, too."

Son Heung-min said "It's so painful". What can I say. I was winning at half-time, but it was even more painful when I lost two goals in a short time. It was very disappointing" "I think it was a little clumsy. It's not an individual mistake, it's a result of the overall combination of things."
He also said "I didn't have enough performance, and I made the wrong judgment at the last minute. It's very disappointing not to get three points by allowing a goal like this.
Son Heung-min is said to have played his part. Son Heung-min was stingy 'Football London' forced the opposing goalkeeper to save twice in the first half. One of them hit the crossbar. I never gave up, but this day didn't workAlong with the evaluation, ' gave him a rating of 6, which is the second place in the team.
'Express' showed a shot that forced the opponent's goalkeeper to save in the first half. However, he failed to show the same impact as he did a few seasons ago due to his exhaustion of energy. Huscored has a rating of 6.8 and Footmob has a rating of 7.4.

He continued "It's even more unfortunate that it's a home game. But this result is not because the players didn't try. That's the most important thing. I believe this business will get better. Several injured players are expected to return soon. I'm sure it'll be a great help to the team," he added.
Tottenham is being ridiculed recently for 'Doctor Tottenham'. Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town took their first wins of the season at the expense of Tottenham. Following Everton, who replaced their manager, Leicester were in a swamp of seven consecutive losses before the game. Tottenham was 'special medicine'.
