Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham Hotspur), who remained silent for 81 minutes, failed to avoid the lowest rating.
Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-1 to Nottingham Forest in the 18th round of the 2024-2025 Premier League (PL) at the City Ground in West Bridgford, Nottingham, England, at 0:00 p.m. on the 27th (Korea time).
Following the 3-6 defeat at Liverpool, Tottenham ended its losing streak at Nottingham. In 18 games, it has seven wins, two draws and nine losses (23 points). Now its 11th place is in danger. By contrast, Nottingham has secured Tottenham, jumping to the third place with 10 wins, four draws and four losses (34 points), beating Arsenal (33 points), who had played one less game.
Tottenham failed to break the worst trend. Tottenham wanted to build momentum by winning 4-0 against Manchester City last month, but ended up with only two draws and three losses in five matches. Still, the team beat Southampton 5-0 and beat Manchester United 4-3 in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, raising hope, but allowed 11 runs in the last three matches, pushing it back to the brink.
Tottenham started the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation. Starting players include Dominic Solanke, Son Heung-min, Dejan Kulusevski and Brennan Johnson, Pape Sarr-Rodrigo Bentancur, Destiny Udogi, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, Jed Spence, and Fraser Forster. Son Heung-min, who was expected to rotate, also made the roster.
Nottingham also faced off in a 4-2-3-1 formation. Chris Wood, Callum Hudson-Odoi - Morgan Gibbs-White - Antony Elanga, Elliott Anderson - Ryan Yates, Nico Williams - Murillo - Nikola Milenkovic - Ola Aina and Mats Sells were among the first to appear.
Son Heung-min once expressed his greed. At the counterattack in the fifth minute of the first half, he drove the ball up to the side and shot. However, he rolled as he failed to gain strength and was easily caught by the goalkeeper.
A quiet game. Nottingham scored the first goal. In the 28th minute of the first half, Spence lost the ball from a high position, and Nottingham launched a counterattack. Gibbs-White poked an exquisite forward pass into the back space of the defense, and Elanga, who quickly penetrated, shook the net with a calm left-footed shot.
Tottenham swallowed the disappointment. In the 39th minute of the first half, Kulusevski turned around from the right and put a pass into the box. Johnson rushed in and connected it with a powerful shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Son Heung-min's sharp free kick did not lead to a goal. He aimed directly at the goal with his right foot in the free-kick opportunity he got in the extra time of the first half. It was a shot that crossed the defensive wall exquisitely, but he hit the side net. The first half ended with no more points.
Tottenham missed a golden opportunity. In the 12th minute of the second half, Johnson sent the ball into the defensive leg with a great touch from inside the box and shot it. However, the goalkeeper was blocked. Tottenham players insisted on a handball foul by Nottingham's defense, but the referee continued the game.
Tottenham held the ball and tried to be aggressive for the equalizer, but was rather shaken by Nottingham's threatening counterattack. If it wasn't for Foster's good defense in the 16th minute of the second half, it would have given Elanga a multi-goal.
Tottenham's bench, which needed to change the current, moved first. Coach Engie Postecoglou made changes to the midfield by excluding Sar and Bentancourt in the 19th minute of the second half and adding James Maddison and Lucas Beribal. Nottingham called in Elanga at the 29th minute of the second half and put in defender Morato to lock the ball.
Son Heung-min left the bench. Postecoglou deployed Timo Werner and Pedro Porro in place of Son and U Do-ki at the 36th minute of the second half. However, all of them were useless. Tottenham didn't even get a chance to play set piece, failing to open the goal for Nottingham in the end. On top of that, Spence was sent off due to accumulated number of warnings in the final minutes of the match. In the end, Nottingham ended the game with a one-point victory.
According to Football Association, Son had two shots, a 90 percent pass success rate, three chances creation, two dribbling successes (2/4) and two fouls before being replaced in the 36th minute of the second half. His score was the highest at Tottenham with 7.2 points.
However, local media in the U.K. rated it the opposite. "The only game in which he attempted a limp goal during the first five minutes was his involvement. It was another weak performance by Son," he said, only giving Son a four-point rating. This was the lowest score among the 11 players selected by Tottenham.
토토사이트 "Football London" made even more critical comments. "He fired a gentle shot at the goalkeeper early in the match, and sent a free kick to the side net right before the end of the first half. Most of them were hesitant and ineffective performances, and they were replaced with 10 minutes left. For Tottenham, he should give more impetus and less hesitation. It may be up to Postecoglou to not be able to penetrate a good position as much as Son Heung-min does," the media said, rating him three points.
Spurs Web, a Tottenham fan community, was even worse. The media said, "Son Heung-min's ups and downs have been revealed once again this season. He really didn't do much in this match. He had a few chances to halve the match, and he was replaced after being quiet. It was not Son's best match," giving him a two-point rating. It was the lowest score along with Spence, who received a red card at the end of the match.
