Heung-min Son Misses Penalty After José Sá Receives Insider Tip

Another Frustrating Day for Tottenham

Tottenham had an opportunity to claim three points against relegation-threatened Wolves, but once again, things didn’t go as planned.

Despite taking the lead before halftime after recovering from an early setback, Spurs conceded a late equalizer.

This marked their fifth consecutive Premier League home match without a victory, leaving fans increasingly frustrated.

While some have called for manager Ange Postecoglou’s dismissal, others acknowledge his attempt to introduce more balance when Tottenham were ahead, though it ultimately failed.

This has shifted criticism onto the players, who struggled to secure the win. Spurs squandered three major chances during the match.

While Dejan Kulusevski and Dominic Solanke failed to capitalize on opportunities, the most disappointing performance came from club captain Heung-min Son.

Hwang’s Insight Foils Son’s Penalty

Son’s underwhelming display stood out, earning him the lowest rating among his teammates.

He failed to deliver a single accurate cross and registered only one shot on target—a penalty saved after Brennan Johnson earned a foul in the box.

However, the save wasn’t necessarily due to a poorly executed penalty.

Footage shared by X user @mari_mavi5 revealed Wolves forward Hee-chan Hwang, Son’s South Korean national teammate, signaling where the penalty would be placed.

Hwang pointed to the goalkeeper’s left before being restrained by teammate Radu Dragusin.

His prediction proved accurate, as Wolves goalkeeper José Sá dived in that direction and denied Son’s attempt.

It marked the first time in nearly five years that Son failed to convert a penalty.

Son’s Underwhelming Form Raises Concerns

At first glance, Son’s statistics this season seem respectable, with 12 chances created and six assists in the league.

However, his overall performances have often fallen short of expectations. This has sparked questions about whether the club captain has a long-term future at Tottenham.

Currently sitting eleventh in the Premier League table, Spurs desperately need their star players to step up.

As captain, Son is expected to lead by example, but his recent displays have been uninspiring.

Being substituted shortly after the 60-minute mark due to another disappointing outing raises doubts about his ability to drive the team forward.

With Tottenham’s struggles continuing, the pressure mounts on both Postecoglou and his squad to turn their fortunes around.

However, unless players like Son improve significantly, Spurs may find it increasingly difficult to climb the table and secure the results they need.
