Tottenham lost 0-1 to Arsenal in the fourth round of the 2024-2025 English Premier League (EPL) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 15th (Korea time).
Tottenham lost two games in a row. It was also lost to arch-rival Arsenal after the defeat at Newcastle.
Arsenal have three wins and one draw. While Arsenal's key midfielders Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice were absent, Arsenal remained solid as strong favourites.
Son Heung-min scored one goal and two assists in the second round of the Asian qualifying round for the 2026 North-China World Cup against Oman, and played his first game since he was selected for the A match.
I struggled as captain, but I couldn't stop my team from losing.
Tottenham's one-top Solanke returned. Son Heung-min played as a left winger in his main position.
The first half was impressive. He created a threatening scene with Solanke and Klusevski in the 5th minute of the previous game, and he got a free kick in the 10th minute of the first half.
He aimed for Arsenal's defensive weakness by position-chaining with the left winger in the center, but there was no significant income. In the second half, Son Heung-min came out to the back to help the defense due to Arsenal's strong offensive, but he did not create a threatening scene.
It was a bloody battle on this day. A total of 23 fouls and warnings came out as many as eight.
Huscore, a website specializing in soccer statistics, gave Son a 6.5 rating. The media highly rated center back Van de Pen (6.7), Romero (7.0), and right back four (7.2), and James Maddison also scored 7.0 points.
On the other hand, Arsenal earned a good rating, with Saka receiving 7.6 points and Havertz receiving 7.8.
