With Son Heung-min silent, Tottenham Hotspur suffered a home loss to "rival" Arsenal. From the start of this season, which could be Son Heung-min's last season at Tottenham, concerns about his performance are growing. Tottenham lost 0-1 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, at 10 p.m. on the 15th in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL).
After returning to Tottenham after completing an A-match schedule in September, Son challenged for consecutive goals in the upcoming north London derby at home. He is aiming for three consecutive goals in the north London derby and two consecutive home matches following multi-goal at the match against Everton. If Son scored two more goals against Arsenal, he could achieve two records. For one, he will become the fourth player to score double-digit goals in the north London derby following Harry Kane (14 goals), Bobby Smith (10 goals) and Adebayor (10 goals).
Nori's second record was to rank 19th overall in EPL history. Son, who has 122 goals overall in the EPL, is one goal behind Raheem Sterling and Dwight Yorke (123 goals). As Sterling, who is set to play for Arsenal, has a chance to score, the competition between the two players was another highlight. Attention is focusing on whether Son, who scored three goals in the two North London derbies since wearing the captain's armband, will score points and lead his team to victory this time. He has recorded one win, one draw and three losses in the five recent North London derbies, and suffered two consecutive losses at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Tottenham and Arsenal had a fierce battle in the first half, but failed to produce any special scene. Son was also silent. The first team to break the balance in the second half was Arsenal. In the 19th minute of the second half, Arsenal striker Bukayo Saka scored a left-footed corner from the right and Gabriel Magalyangis scored a header to give his team the lead. The match between the two teams was eventually decided by Magalyangis' goal. With Son Heung-min not playing well, Tottenham lost three points to rival Arsenal at home.
Tottenham had high expectations on Son's recent performance against Arsenal. However, Son had to remain silent and watch his team lose on the day. Son kept Tottenham Hotspur for nine years from August 2015 but remained in the no-man's box. He even failed to rank fourth in the league for two consecutive seasons until the previous season, failing to advance to the Champions League. 동행복권파워볼
Son's contract with Tottenham expires in June 2025. In other words, he can play for Tottenham for one more season. However, if Tottenham fails to win a Champions League ticket for the next season this season, Son will not be able to play in the Champions League as a member of Tottenham for the rest of his contract unless he renews his contract. He is so discouraged as a player.
The prospects are not bright enough. Tottenham lost both of their first four matches of the season with Newcastle and Arsenal, two of their direct competitors who could rank among the top four in the Champions League. They should build points against weak teams and make a difference by winning against strong teams, but Tottenham has been lagging behind in that competition since the beginning of the season. Son Heung-min and Tottenham are worried even though it has not been a month since the opening of the league.
