# Uncle Heung-min, cheer up! Son couldn't smile after Burnley win, who gave him a 'smile'?



There's someone who made Son Heung-min smile.

Tottenham Hotspur defeated Burnley 2-1 in the 37th round of the 2023-24 English Premier League at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in England on Monday (Jan. 11). Tottenham conceded an early goal to Burnley's Jakob Brunn Larsen in the first half. However, Spurs equalized through Pedro Foro in the second half and Mickey van der Vaan pulled one back in the second half to secure a hard-fought victory.

It was Spurs' first win in a long time after four straight defeats, but captain Son Heung-min was not smiling. The fifth-placed Spurs are currently in a four-way tie for fourth place with Aston Villa. With two games in hand, Spurs and Villa are separated by four points. Even if Spurs win both of their remaining games, Villa only needs one win to clinch fourth place. It's too late for Spurs to catch up to Villa.

Tottenham then allowed players to spend time with their families inside the stadium after the Burnley game. Spurs have a tradition of letting players' families onto the pitch for their last home game of the season. Although Spurs still had a home game against Manchester City to play, the family event was organized on this day because the City game was a bye.

And a video has been making the rounds on local social media. Son was greeting [바카라사이트](https://www.oncasinosite.net) the home fans with a somber expression on his face when Cristian Romero arrived with his son, Valentino, in tow. He then tapped Son Heung-min on the shoulder and asked him to say hello to his son.

Heung-min looked at Valentino, smiled broadly, and touched Valentino's cheek. In response, Valentino stuck out his hand to high-five Son Heung-min with a solemn expression. Son Heung-min smiled broadly and high-fived Valentino.

Son Heung-min was active on the day, but failed to score an offensive point. With 17 goals and nine assists to date, he only needed one more to make it 10-10. However, his Spurs teammates failed to capitalize on the chances he created against Burnley.

Add to that the fact that Spurs are struggling to get into the top four. So, Son [Wordpress](https://majortotositedotpro.wordpress.com/) wasn't exactly smiling. But thanks to Valentino, he"s back to smiling.
