'I know how you feel!'

Tottenham captain Son Heung-min consoled fellow striker Brennan Johnson, who was discouraged from missing a hat-trick opportunity.

On the 7th (local time), British sports radio station 『Talk Sports』 released a video posted by a soccer fan on social networking service saying 'Johnson appeared disheartened as he left the stadium and was consoled by Son Heung-min'




Tottenham was taken shortly after the end of the 31st round of the English Premier League (EPL) home game against Southampton in 2024-2025 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England. On this day, Tottenham emerged from the slump with a 3-1 victory.

In the video, Son Heung-min approached Johnson with James Maddison, caressing his cheek, and making a consolation gesture. Other colleagues, including Jed Spence and Mickey van de Pen, approached Johnson and offered their comfort in their own way.

Johnson seemed to be out of sorts despite the continued consolation of his colleagues. Son Heung-min, who continued to care about Johnson, called Johnson's name again, held Johnson's hand and stroked his back to soothe his emotions.




Son Heung-min knows his junior's heart better than anyone else. In 2016, in the early days of joining Tottenham, he scuffled with his then teammate Eric Lamela for a penalty kick. Lamela tried to shoot after pushing Son away, but he missed.

The situation occurred in the 6th minute of extra time in the second half when Tottenham led 2-1 with Johnson's multi-goal. Johnson, who showed his best performance of the day, wanted to kick the penalty he was given to the team himself. If you scored a penalty, you could score a hat-trick.

However, full-back Pedro Porro approached Johnson, took the ball and handed it to vice-captain Christian Romero, who passed it to striker Matistel. Tel, who was loaned from Bayern Munich in January, has scored only one goal for Tottenham so far, and has not scored in the EPL. It appears to be a `tell-saving' dimension, but Johnson could not hide his disappointment.




Tel calmly scored with a shot towards the top of the goal.

Johnson said on the club's official website, `It's natural that I want to kick a penalty. I only spoke to a certain extent until the situation became complicated. I've had colleagues try to take my credit before, and I felt a bit anxious then. But the game was almost over, and I didn't want to unsettle anyone or cause a rift."

Johnson simply accepted the decision after it was made"

Tottenham manager Engie Postecoglou praised Johnson for constantly threatening the opponent's defense.

Johnson scored a team-high 11 goals in the EPL this season.
