# SON Cancels All 3 Goals

Tottenham Hotspur have been swamped with three consecutive losses. Despite a series of injuries, he did his best, but unfortunately suffered a 1-2 upset loss.

In particular, the main gun Son Heung-min scored three goals, but all of them were canceled because they were judged offside. Tottenham manager Anji Postecoglou defended him, saying, "Our offensive tactics were always close."

Tottenham lost 1-2 at home against Aston Villa on the 27th. Tottenham lost all three games in a come-from-behind defeat. In the meantime, Son Heung-min, who leads Tottenham's offense, was also silent.

He shook the net three times, but was repeatedly involved in Aston Villa's sophisticated defensive tactics and all were canceled due to offside. In addition, Tottenham's strikers' two shots all hit the post and did not follow suit.

Tottenham had a much higher share (62%) but, contradictingly, the number of shots against Aston Villa was little different.

Tottenham made 18 shots in this match, while Aston Villa made 15 attempts. This was because Aston Villa raised and lowered the defensive line in the right place, leading to offside several times. Tottenham committed five offside games in the first half and the second half.

Goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez, who led his country Argentina to the championship at the last World Cup, also shone. He turned Tottenham's attack into nothingness by showing several brilliant saves. Footmob, a platform specializing in soccer statistics, gave Martinez an 8.4 rating and ranked him the second most brilliant player in the game.

Tottenham's Guglielmo Vicario also struggled, but he allowed a goal because the set piece situation did not check the attack properly. "Footmob" gave him 7.5 points, a rating he complied with. It was the third highest rating among Tottenham starters.

The most disappointing scene for Tottenham was offside, which appeared several times. In particular, Tottenham players also looked stunned when the goal was canceled after scoring a decisive opportunity.

In response, Postecoglou and Son Heung-min spoke. The two said in unison, "Our tactics are close."

Coach Postecoglou said, "Our offensive tactics are always close," evaluating Son Heung-min's score, which was canceled three times offside. Coach Postecoglou said, "It was a shame that the end of this game did not go well, but in the long run, he clearly showed room for development. We were able to create many opportunities," he said.

He then announced that the loss of Rodrigo Bentancur, who was replaced by a rough foul by the opponent in the first half, played a part in the defeat.

Tottenham's offensive shrank a little when Bentancur, who was in charge of the rear playmaker and ball transportation, was missing. Coach Postecoglou said, "I'm disappointed to lose Bentancur," adding, "I think there's a problem with my ankle rather than my knee."

Son Heung-min was also disappointed.

He said, "The process was good and I created a lot of opportunities. However, I have to talk about it as a result, he said. "Unfortunately, I lost, so it hurts a lot." Regarding the cause of the defeat, he also said, "There were many mistakes in the team's judgment, but we could not save the tactical speed because the game continued to be delayed due to offside or injury."

Tottenham and Aston Villa had to conduct VARs several times to check for offside and fouls. In particular, Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins' equalizer in the 24th minute of the first half was canceled by a "paper-score" difference from Tottenham defender Emerson Royal.

Son Heung-min did not lose his positive side despite the defeat. "All the players did their best," he said. "It was hard to accept the result and it was hard to break Aston Villa's defense, but we will be able to get back on track." He said he would not lose hope in the league competition.
