Tottenham won the quarterfinals of the English Football League (EFL) Cup 4-3 against Manchester United in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the afternoon of the 19th (local time). Son Heung-min played full time. He shook the net with a corner kick in the 43rd minute of the second half when he was leading 3-2. It was the first corner kick goal of Son Heung-min's professional career.
I met Son Heung-min in the mixed zone after the game. He scored his first corner goal since elementary school"Our team's corner kick tactic was to stick it toward the goalkeeper. I thought it was too close, but it went in. In fact, he didn't kick it for a goal." "I was lucky and I'm happy to help the team with a goal at an important moment," he said.
Tottenham face Liverpool in the semi-finals of the League Cup. The semi-finals are home and away.

-I don't think I've ever seen a corner kick goal.
I think it was the first time I scored a corner kick goal in ▶ elementary school. It's like that while I'm a professional. Even though I kicked a lot, it went in directly. I think I've been lucky and I'm happy to help the team with a goal at a critical moment.
-I think I intentionally put a lot of kicks on the opponent's goalkeeper's side.
▶We always do corner kick tactics like this. It's too much I thought about it, but it went in.
Actually, I didn't kick it for a goal. There are a lot of players who are a little confused, so I think it went straight into the goal in a complicated situation.
-It was an easy game to go to. Then I was chased. He also showed how he called for the players to cheer up.
▶ I think the more experienced players do it to encourage young players and not make such mistakes. I think today's game was a game where we could learn something.
Just because we won the game 3 to 0 doesn't mean we'll be complacent, but I think we should have done better by playing our own games. First of all, the most important thing is that we settled down well in the semifinals, so I think it's a game that will help the players understand better and develop further.
