Heung min son post-match interview after Tottenham loss to Manchester city is freaking people out

“It’s always disappointing to lose at home, we felt we had a foothold in the game but they took their big moments which won the game for them.

Arsenal fans have predictably said the same thing about Tottenham star Son Heung-min’s crucial miss against Manchester City.

The midweek clash is likely to prove pivotal in deciding the identity of this year’s Premier League title winners, with a victory taking City two points ahead of Arsenal with a game to play.

The first half was nervy for both sides, with neither able to break the deadlock at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Erling Haaland finally settled City fans down six minutes into the second half, tapping home from yards out to give Pep Guardiola’s side the advantage.

The Golden Boot winner-elect sealed the deal in stoppage time from the penalty spot after Pedro Porro’s clumsy challenge on Jeremy Doku.

But five minutes before then, Son missed a crucial chance to put Spurs level after breaking the offside trap.

However, when presented with a one-on-one opportunity against City substitute goalkeeper Stefan Ortega, the forward’s shot was saved by the leg of the German shot-stopper.
The miss felt as if it took the steam right out of the contest, with City going up the other end to score minutes later.

And given that the miss prevented Spurs from an equaliser that would have sent Arsenal one step closer to the title, Gunners fans predictably made the same claim on social media – and even some Spurs fans joined in.

One wrote: “Son missed that on purpose, I won’t be convinced otherwise.”

A second said: “Son missed that on purpose. Proper Spurs man!”

And a Spurs fan asked: “I can’t be the only one who thinks Son missed that chance on purpose? Absolute legend.”

A fourth said: “Spurs are doing it on purpose. How did he miss that?”

Of course, with Spurs needing all three points to maintain their hopes of for Champions League football, their players were desperate to return back to Europe’s top continental competition – and the devastation on Son’s face after the miss said everything.
Meanwhile, City boss Pep Guardiola collapsed onto his back after the miss – with his emotion telling the full story of a chaotic second half at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
