Footage of Pep Guardiola and Son Heung-min emerges at FT after Spurs star’s costly miss against Man City

Footage of Pep Guardiola and Son Heung-min at half-time appeared after the Tottenham player missed a chance to equalize against Manchester City
On Tuesday, City claimed a vital 2-0 win at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to move top of the Premier League standings, two points ahead of Arsenal with just one game remaining against West Ham
The victory is important because a draw would keep Arsenal top of the table, meaning the championship would be in their hands going into the final matchday
Indeed, a draw looked a likely scenario in the 86th minute when Manuel Akanji was robbed of possession of his own half, leaving Son to race towards goal with only Stefan Ortega to beat
But with an unbelievable goal, Son’s shot was brilliantly saved by Ortega, helping Erling Haaland double Man City’s lead from the penalty spot a few minutes later
Spurs’ defeat confirmed Aston Villa’s position in next season’s Champions League instead of Ange Postecoglou’s team
And after the match, Guardiola was seen talking into Son’s ear in a typically animated manner, as the two men linked arms
The Spaniard seemed to be comforting his son who appeared disappointed at perhaps having wasted the missed opportunity
Meanwhile, Sky Sports commentator Jamie Carragher told the Gary Neville Podcast that Ortega’s save will almost certainly help City win the title
Carragher said: “[Tottenham] have given City more problems than I’ve probably seen in a long time, in terms of the number of chances they’ve created
“Ortega, just tonight, helped them win the Premier League
Obviously a lot of things happened throughout the season, but when you watch this game, if he didn’t make the saves At 1-0, Arsenal would have won the tournament
How close was it
Carragher compared Ortega’s save to a long-range strike by then-Man City captain Vincent Kompany, who hit defeated Leicester 1-0 and put his team ahead of Liverpool before the final match of the 2019 season
“When I think about myself, “A few years ago, as a fan Liverpool member, seeing Vincent Kompany score against Leicester, that was the moment for Arsenal fans,” Carragher said
“This opportunity for Son is a moment Arsenal fans will remember forever in five or ten years
Even if they win the title in the next five years – and they have a chance of doing so because they are a great team with a great manager – that chance will always haunt them
