Tottenham lost 1-2 against Aston Villa in the fourth round (32 strongest) of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at Birmingham Villa Park in England on the 10th (Korea time). It has been three days since the second leg of the Carabao Cup semifinal against Liverpool on the 7th, with a 0-4 defeat.
Amid the team's crisis, many expected Son Heung-min, who was strong with seven goals and four assists against Aston Villa, to perform. Son Heung-min, who played as a front-line striker for the first time in a long time, was different from usual. In the 23rd minute of the first half, when the team was losing 0-1, it was fatal to miss a decisive one-on-one chance with the opposing goalkeeper. Shortly after Kulusevski passed to Moore on the right during the counterattack, Moore crossed a ground ball to Son Heung-min, who was rushing to the center. With a one-on-one situation that arrived in an instant, Son Heung-min's shot headed in front of Aston Villa goalkeeper Martinez. Martinez succeeded in making a super save by hugging the ball all over his body. It was a chance that Son Heung-min, who we know, would never miss.
In the fourth minute of the second half, Son Heung-min had another chance. Following the pass that Porro stabbed from the right to the center, Son Heung-min dug into the back space and fired a right-footed shot, but was blocked by the opponent's defense.
In extra time in the second half, Matisse Tell, a freshman hired on loan from Bayern Munich in the winter transfer market, shook the net with a volley shot to make up for a point with his England debut goal, but it was too late to change the trend. 14th in the league after eliminating the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup, and now Tottenham has the only chance of a trophy left this season in the Europa League.

Football London also gave Son four lowest points, Pedro Porro, Rodrigo Bentancourt and Mike Moore. Football London hit a shot at goalkeeper Martinez in the first half on a no-mark chance that received Moore's pass. Another shot was also blocked early in the second half. Tottenham needed the captain's quality ability at an important moment, but there was no such quality.
