Son Heung-min was the man of the match.
Son Heung-min, who recently had to contend with futile criticism of his skills and leadership, answered the doubts he received in the opening round against Leicester City with a record of excellent performance and two assists to his criticism, as he did against Everton in the second round.
Son Heung-min, who recorded multi-help in the match against Brentford, was honored to be selected as MOTM in two games following the match against Everton, which scored multiple goals. After the match, 16,617 fans participated in the fan vote conducted by the Premier League secretariat, and was selected as MOTM with 52.9% of the support.
Tottenham, led by head coach Anji Postecoglou, scored three goals in 23 seconds in the first half against Brentford in the fifth round of the 2024-25 Premier League at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on the 21st (Korea time), winning a thrilling 3-1 come-from-behind victory.
Tottenham, which had been in a losing streak due to consecutive losses to Newcastle United and rival Arsenal, came in 10th in the league by bringing three points in three games with the victory over Brentford.
Son Heung-min, the captain of the team, was the hero of the losing streak. Starting on the left wing on the day, Son gave his teammates a whopping seven chances, two of which led to his help. Son, who has changed his role as a playmaker this season, led Tottenham to a victory against Brentford by showing off his special skills as a helper.
In addition, Son Heung-min's performance against Brentford silenced the voices of criticism against him to some extent.
Son Heung-min, who had no offensive points this season other than the multi-goal he scored in the second round against Everton, has become the subject of intense criticism after the North London derby, with some even arguing that Son should be excluded from the starting list. These comments also led to rumors of Son's transfer.
Criticism towards Son Heung-min began to haunt him after the North London derby. At the time, Son Heung-min pointed out Tottenham's set-piece problem in an interview with broadcaster "Sky Sports" after the game and said that the players should play responsibly, which was criticized by some Tottenham fans who were stimulated by the defeat of the North London derby.
According to global media 'Goal Dotcom', some Tottenham fans uttered unlogical evaluations such as "Son Heung-min is a shameful captain" and "He is probably the worst captain we have ever had."
Even the British Football Fancast said, "Tottenham is likely to give Son Heung-min the captaincy he is playing to other players," adding, "Son Heung-min has not signed a new contract with Tottenham yet, and it is not clear whether he can continue his future at Tottenham." He even mentioned that Son Heung-min, who has been leading the team as Tottenham's captain since last season, could put down the captain's armband.
The media said Tottenham was trying to make the team's new guardian, Guglielmo Vicario, recruited last season, like Tottenham's legend Hugo Lloris, adding that he could hand over the captain's armband filled in Son Heung-min's arm to Vicario.
Some even speculated that Son Heung-min had no intention of renewing his contract with Tottenham and that he could leave the team at the end of this season if Tottenham did not trigger an extension option, shaking Son Heung-min recklessly. Son Heung-min, who recently faced numerous criticisms from the beginning of the season, is once again embroiled in the transfer rumor.
However, when Son Heung-min showed strong performance against Brentford, including two assists, all these futile captains disappeared. Son Heung-min has once again shown that it is difficult to deny that he has a large presence in Tottenham. 안전놀이터
Tottenham lost the first goal 23 seconds into the match, and the first half was able to end 2-1 thanks to the equalizer of front-line striker Dominique Solanke, who later entered Tottenham with a club record, and Brennan Johnson's comeback goal in the Carabao Cup match against Coventry City just before, which saved Tottenham with a theater-winning goal in the extra time of the second half.
