Son Heung-min's hiatus is the worst ever! Dangers of catastrophe Tottenham 02→22 Lucky Draw Odober Lowest Point



Tottenham brought one point from the game, which was on the verge of losing, but Son Heung-min's absence was felt again.

Tottenham drew 2-2 in the fifth round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2025-2026 season at Amex Stadium in Brighton, England on the 20th (Korea time). With 10 points, Tottenham ranked second in the unstable league.

Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, who is worried about Son Heung-min's successor, made another change. Along with Hishalisson and Mohammed Kudus, Wilson Odobert was the player who received the opportunity. Xavi Simmons, who played as a left winger in the last two games, waited on the bench. Rodrigo Bentancur, João Paligna and Lucas Beribal were located in the midfield. Destiny Udogi, Mickey van der Penn, Christian Romero and Pedro Porro made up four hundred, while Guglielmo Vicario kept the goal.

Early in the first half, Tottenham almost gave up a catastrophic game. The defense line collapsed in the eighth minute of the first half. Brighton's counterattack gave Yankuba Minte completely back space. Minte scored after beating Vicario.




Tottenham launched a counterattack, but Kudus' presence as an ace was also light. Odobert, who replaced Son Heung-min, had no flashes except for a few linked plays. To make matters worse, Tottenham was hit again. In the 31st minute of the first half, the ball that Beribal failed to kick properly headed to Yasin Ayari. Ayari drilled Vicario with a bold mid-range shot.

The player who saved Tottenham, who needed a comeback goal, was Hishalisson. In the 43rd minute of the first half, the attack unfolded quickly as Kudus cut off the attack. Bentancur handed it back to Kudus, who tried to shoot. He seemed to be blocked when he was hit by Hishalisson's body in Kudus' shooting path, but Hishalisson reacted quickly and pushed it in.

Coach Frank, who needed an equalizer in the second half, put Simmons in the 16th minute of the second half instead of Bentancur. Simmons faced a crucial chance in the 25th minute of the second half. Kudus, on the right, scored a fantastic cross after the breakthrough. However, Simmons' shot went weakly outside the net.

Coach Frank changed O'Dober, who had no presence throughout the game, with Brennan Johnson in the 27th minute of the second half. At a time when Tottenham was becoming increasingly difficult to chase, a goddess of luck emerged. In the 37th minute of the second half, Simmons delivered the ball to Kudus on the right. Jan Paul Panheke led to an own goal as he failed to clear Kudus' cross properly.

Tottenham, which gained momentum again in the last minute, attacked but failed to make a turnaround in the end. After the match, English Football London gave O'Doubert four of Tottenham's lowest ratings and did not make much of an impact in the first half. There were a few more shining moments in the second half, but they didn't show a threatening performance to score.

Director Frank's struggles are bound to deepen. Simmons is also less influential on the left, but his strength is not reviving even if he puts other winger resources on the left. The left attack is not active, so he is only relying on the right side where Kudus is in the end. On this day, both goals started with Kudus' toes. If the attack is biased like this, the more the season goes on, the more severe the checks will be on Kudus. Tottenham has yet to properly resolve Son Heung-min's gap.
