Tottenham won 1-0 in the 25th round of the English Premier League (EPL) match against Manchester United in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 16th (local time). Tottenham, which secured three points, moved from 15th to 12th with 30 points. Son Heung-min started and played 86 minutes to lead the team's attack.
Son Heung-min took a week off and came out. It's been a long time since I had a week off. From December 1 last year to the FA Cup match against Aston Villa (9th), he played 20 games in 70 days. He played every 3.5 days. Moreover, he played about 75 minutes per game. It was simply a tight schedule.
It was inevitable for Son Heung-min. Tottenham had 11 of its key players injured. The bench members had no choice but to put players from the academy. If even Son Heung-min collapsed, Tottenham had no choice but to collapse. A full-scale collapse could be avoided because Son Heung-min played with his teeth clenched. Son Heung-min had to not only finish the attack but also play as the architect of the attack.
And against Manchester United. Tottenham was able to breathe a little with Vicario and Madison returning. Son Heung-min added strength to his attack by hitting three shots. In particular, his volley shot was good in the 12th minute of the first half. He connected the cross from the right with a left foot volley shot. He deflected after being hit by a defender and flowed backward. Veribal shot. Onana goalkeeper hit it. Madison rushed in and scored the second ball. The starting point of the winning goal was Son Heung-min.
In the 15th and 24th minutes of the second half, Son Heung-min tried to shoot again. He hit the ball from the side and shot it as it was. He looked confident again. It was a good try even though it was caught by the opponent's defense.
On this day, Manchester United did everything in their power to stop Son Heung-min. Diogo Dalot was clinging to Son Heung-min. If Son Heung-min catches the ball, Mazrawi or Casemiro also participated in defense. Even in such a situation, he showed a sharp appearance. Son Heung-min laid the foundation for Tottenham to catch Manchester United.
