Son Heung-min's fifth assist of the season was overshadowed by his team's loss.
Tottenham saw their three-game winning streak come to an end with a 2-4 away defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion in the 19th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) at the Palmer Amex Stadium on Monday (Sept. 29). Son Heung-min started and played the full game, picking up his fifth assist of the season.
Tottenham had a difficult start to the game, as their defensive line broke down early on. They conceded an early goal to Brighton's Jack Hinshelwood in the 11th minute and then added another in the 23rd minute from the penalty spot. During a scramble in front of goal following a Brighton corner, Tottenham's Dejan Kulusevski pulled on the jersey of opposing striker Danny Welbeck and the referee pointed to the spot. Brighton kicker Joao Pedro rattled the net with his right foot. Unable to capitalize on their chances in the remaining time, Tottenham conceded back-to-back goals in the 19th and 30th minutes of the second half to find themselves 0-4 down.토토사이트
Son was credited with an assist on Alejo Velis' 36th-minute comeback goal. Son, who scored his 11th goal of the season in a 2-1 win over Everton in the 18th round on Sept. 24, earned an attacking point for the second straight game. His total for the season is now 16 (11 goals - 5 assists). Spurs pulled one back in the 40th minute through Ben Davies, but were unable to seal the win and see their three-game winning streak come to an end. The loss ended Spurs' recent run of three straight league wins.
Speaking to local media after the game, Son said, "It was a very disappointing performance. It's not the way we've approached this season and it was nowhere near the level of performance we want to see," he said. "Brighton were more composed than us, and the penalties caused us a lot of problems," he added. Hoopscore.com gave Son a 6.7 rating on the night, the fifth-highest on the team.
