'Captain Sun' Son Heung-min (Tottenham) postponed his first career opportunity to win.

Tottenham, led by Son Heung-min, is being dragged 0-4 as of the 38th minute of the second half of the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup (EFL Cup) semifinal match against Liverpool at Anfield in Liverpool, England on the 7th (Korea time). It's simply 'Anfield Nightmare'.

Tottenham, which gained the lead with a 1-0 win at home in the first leg of last month's semifinal, reached the final just by drawing, but it became difficult to advance to the final.




As a result, Tottenham's first attempt to win the League Cup in 17 years since winning the 2007-2008 season seems to be in vain.

Son Heung-min, who has yet to engrave his winning history in his brilliant career, is expected to seek to win the FA Cup and the European Europa League.

Tottenham faces Aston Villa in the round of 32 of the FA Cup on the 10th and has advanced to the round of 16 in the Europa League.




Defending champion Liverpool, who is likely to advance to the finals for the second consecutive year, will compete for the championship with Newcastle, which beat Arsenal at Wembley on March 17 if the game ends like this.

Tottenham set up a three-top with Son Heung-min, Hishalisson and Dejan Kulusevski. Pape Sarr, Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma built the trimmings, while Archie Gray, Kevin Danso, Ben Davies and Jed Spence played four backs. Antonin Kinski wore goalkeeper gloves.

Liverpool manager Arne Slot pulled out all the main resources for the game that needed to win. Darwin Núñez came out as a one-top, while Mohamed Salah, Dominic Sobosleri and Cody Hakpo built the second line of attack. Ryan Hravernberg and Curtis Jones set up the midfield, while Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson played four backs. Quibin Keleher defended the goal.




Home team Liverpool led the game from the beginning of the game. Salah shook from the side and Sobosler constantly penetrated the door to seek opportunities. While Tottenham couldn't find an answer, they scored the first goal in the 34th minute of the first half. Hakpo calmly scored the ball that Salah caught from the right and stabbed it into the door.

In the game that went back to square one, Tottenham suddenly complained of Hishalisson's injury, who played as a front-line striker at the end of the first half of the snow. Mattis Tel, who was recruited in the winter transfer market, hurriedly prepared for a substitution. Son Heung-min did not make any significant moves on the left side. He focused on defense. The first half ended with Liverpool leading 1-0.

In the 6th minute of the second half, Liverpool scored an extra goal. Kinski committed a penalty foul in the process of blocking Núñez's breakthrough. Salah, who was a kicker, scored his team's second goal. Tottenham tried to make changes by excluding midfielder duo Sarr and Bissouma and sending Lucas Beribal and Pedro Porro.

However, he dedicated the net to Sobosler in the 30th minute of the second half. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Son Heung-min's shot from the left side of the opponent's gate hit the crossbar. In the 35th minute of the second half, the number of shots was 23 to 4. In the 35th minute of the second half, Van Dijk scored a goal with a header.
