Son Heung-Min Hails Tottenham Hotspur’s Resurgence After Victory Over Newcastle United
Tottenham Hotspur’s star player, Son Heung-Min, expressed his satisfaction with his team’s “bounce back” following their impressive 4-1 win against Newcastle United. The victory came as a relief for Spurs, who had been struggling with a winless streak in their previous five games. Goals from Son, Destiny Udogie, and a brace from Richarlison secured three crucial points against Eddie Howe’s side in the recent match.
A Fantastic Performance and Important Redemption
The 31-year-old captain of Tottenham, Son, commended his team’s outstanding performance in an interview with Sky Sports. He emphasized the significance of bouncing back after a series of disappointing results, stating, “When you are winning games, you enjoy it more. To bounce back like we did was very important. We don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past few weeks. Today’s game showcased a fantastic performance, and I hope we can maintain this level of play going forward.”
Son’s Goal and Harry Kane’s Influence
Son’s goal, a well-executed 85th-minute penalty, marked his tenth goal of the season. The South Korean international revealed that his former strike partner, Harry Kane, played a role in improving his penalty-taking skills. Son shared, “Should we call Harry (Kane) back? I practice all the time, even when Harry was here. You never know what is going to happen in football. It is all about practice. I learned from Harry as well, so I hope we get more opportunities to score from penalties.”
Manager Ange Postecoglou’s Praise for Son
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou also commended Son’s performance, highlighting his importance to the team. Postecoglou stated, “Looking at the last few weeks, most of our chances and opportunities have fallen to the wide players. Sonny is still our best finisher, and I believed that playing him on the left would provide us with more goal-scoring options. As I said, Sonny set the tone early on, and I think the rest of the team drew inspiration from him.”
Tottenham’s next match will be against Nottingham Forest on Friday.
