Son Heung-min (Tottenham), who was silent in the match against Karabakh, received the lowest rating this season.
The statistics company 'Sofascore' scored 6.9 points on Son Heung-min, who played 71 minutes in the first round of the European Europa League (UEL) league phase between Tottenham and Karabakh at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 27th (Korea time).
Among Tottenham's three-top, he had the lowest rating and was eighth in the team. Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, who recorded five saves, was the highest with 8.5 points, while Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson, who played as three-top alongside Son Heung-min, received 7.3 and 7.1 points, respectively.
Son Heung-min assisted Solanke's net with a sharp shot in the 23rd minute of the second half when his team led 2-0 with consecutive goals from Johnson and Papesar. UEFA also records shots blocked by the goalkeeper as assist, but no assist was given to statistical companies.

The 6.9 rating is the lowest in the game Son Heung-min started after the opening of this season. Son Heung-min received an 8.7 rating for his performance in leading the 3-1 victory with two assists against Brentford on the 21st, and has never fallen below 7 points in five Premier League games.
The London-based magazine Football London scored seven points, the second-highest rating among Tottenham players. Son Heung-min, who played as a left striker in the 4-3-3 formation, said he played hard on the left side and contributed to Dominic Solanke's goal in the offense and defense at a time when his team was undernumbered by center back Radu Dragusin's early exit in the eighth minute of the first half.
Dragushin, who started for the first time in a long time and retired after eight minutes, received a two-point rating of 'Football London'.

In 71 minutes, Son Heung-min recorded 39 ball touches, two shots, one effective shot, an 88 percent pass success rate, one key pass, one offside, and one ground match (three attempts).
Son Heung-min suddenly sank to the floor in the 26th minute of the second half with a 3-0 lead. He seems to have felt a strain on his leg while trying to shoot. The British public broadcaster 'BBC' may have been an injury prevention measure, but it seemed uncomfortable somewhere when leaving the stadium" he said. Postecoglou said "(Son Heung-min) is a little tired." But (specifically) I haven't had a conversation with the players and the medical staff yet."
Tottenham is set to play an away game against Manchester United in the sixth round of the league on the 30th, three days later. If Son Heung-min, who has two goals and three assists in all six league and Europa League games this season, is injured, it will be a big negative factor for Tottenham.
