Tottenham almost lost another point in the opponent's counterattack in the 7th minute of the second half. However, as a result of VAR, the goal was canceled due to offside, and it seemed to be over the crisis. It wasn't. Tottenham was dragged 0-2 in the 20th minute of the second half with an additional point lost by Ivaniusong.

Tottenham launched a counterattack. He tried to change the mood with consecutive mid-range shots. In the 22nd minute of the second half, Papesar scored to chase. Then came Son Heung-min.

Solanke handed the ball to Son at the last minute, and Son scored as a kicker in the enthusiastic applause of the fans.
