Tottenham, led by coach Enze Postecoglou, lost 1-2 to Aston Villa in the round of 32 of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at Villa Park in Birmingham, England on the 10th (Korea time). Tottenham was blocked by Liverpool in the semifinals of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) and failed to advance to the finals, but even the FA Cup was eliminated in the round of 32. Tottenham remains in 14th place in the English Premier League (EPL). The Europa League, which went straight to the round of 16, will remain the only chance to win this season.
British media Daily Mail reported 'Tottenham lost again. He has been eliminated from tournaments in a row in recent tournaments, reports said. According to the outlet, Dublin has no choice in this situation. They do not support themselves. We call it hiding. Son Heung-min is going through that phase now. I was able to shoot from 8 yards out, but I passed. Son's confidence is not right. He is choosing the wrong finish.' Tottenham native Jermaine Defoe also "I couldn't believe it when he wasn't shooting. Sometimes they hide. But sometimes it's important to get back to basics. Tottenham has a lot of noise. Players should be held accountable. It's a difficult time. Everyone talks about injuries and so on."

Son Heung-min received Dejan Kulusevski's pass in the fifth minute of the second half, dug into the right side of the penalty area, and hit a right-footed shot. However, it was deflected off the defender's body and failed to take advantage of the opportunity to score again. In the 9th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min passed the cutback given by Pedro Porro in the right square area of the penalty area to Yves Bissouma, who was next to him, pretending to try to shoot. After receiving Son Heung-min's pass, Bissouma immediately tried to shoot with his right foot, but was blocked by a defensive wall and lost the opportunity to score.
After the game, SofaScore, a soccer statistics company, gave Son Heung-min and Kevin Danso the lowest rating of 6.2 across both teams. British media Express gives Son four points and appears to be getting a free ride from the coach. Recently, other players have been publicly criticized by the coach. Son Heung-min should be treated the same way." Another media outlet, Football London, also gave four points, saying that `Tottenham needed the role of captain at an important moment, but it was unsuccessful.'
