British media Talk Sports reported on February 28 (Korean time) 'Son Heung-min had a heated conversation with the referee after the game. It became a hot topic. This case is an issue that the FA can review. Son Heung-min was lucky to be able to avoid immediate disciplinary action,' the report said.
Tottenham, led by manager Enze Postecoglou, lost 0-1 at home to Manchester City in the 2024-2025 season at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England, on February 27. Tottenham (10 wins, 4 draws and 14 losses) ended their league winning streak at '3'.
The game was not known until the end. Tottenham was dragged away by giving up the first goal to Elling Holan (Man City) in the 12th minute of the first half. He aimed for a second-half turnaround. Holan scored in the extra time of the second half, but a handball foul was declared through VAR. The score was called off. Tottenham aimed for a goal by attacking Son Heung-min. But there was not enough time. The game was a 0-1 defeat for Tottenham.

Keith Hackett, former chairman of the England Professional Match Referee Organization (PGMOL), made a clear and consistent complaint to the referee. Son Heung-min's actions, which could have avoided sanctions, should be included in the report. If he complained about the extra time, he should look at the relevant content. The referee is the only timekeeper. It would have been nice if the referee had shown the card to reaffirm his authority.'
It is not yet known whether the referee will report Son Heung-min to the FA. However, if Son is reported, there is a possibility that he will be fined by the FA'
