In the 27th minute of the first half, he dug into the left side of the opponent's gate in a counterattack and attempted a left-footed shot, but he swallowed his regret by heading to the front of the goalkeeper, who narrowed the angle.

Son Heung-min went to greet his away fans after the game. He greeted his fans with a gesture of apology with his hands together. But it was the booing and swearing of the fans that came back. At Son Heung-min, some fans expressed excessive criticism by repeating the verbal abuse "Too many times. Son Heung-min had to leave in front of the fans with a sad look on his face. However, some fans defended Son Heung-min through SNS. "Son Heung-min has no reason to be treated like this.", He pointed out behaviors that crossed the line, saying, `It is not a team that will have Son Heung-min.'
Along with the recent slump, negative public opinion toward Son Heung-min reached its peak. The fans should start with 'Moore. More offensive options are provided', 'Moore is better than Son Heung-min or James Madison', 'Now Son Heung-min should step down' reportedly responded. If Son Heung-min did not rebound, the voices of some fans who insisted on replacing Moore would have to be louder.
As always, Son erased criticism of himself with his skills. Concerns about Son Heung-min are not expected to be easy for negative public opinion to raise its head if the performance continues.
