CurrentReport Blog In a thrilling midweek Premier League match, Tottenham Hotspur’s star striker Son Heung-min acknowledged Manchester City goalkeeper Stefano Ortega for a crucial save that denied him a game-tying goal.
Late in the game, with Spurs trailing by one, Son had a golden opportunity to level the score but saw his shot blocked by Ortega’s impressive reflexes.
Reflecting on the pivotal moment, Son expressed regret for not capitalizing on the chance, which he believes could significantly impact the title race. “I’m also human. The keeper made a really good decision and made himself really big,” Son remarked. “But I take the responsibility not to score that big chance for the team, because the team was working really hard and trying to get a good result.”
This missed opportunity proved devastating for Tottenham Hotspur, who subsequently suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. The loss has all but extinguished their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League, adding to the disappointment felt by the team and its supporters.
