Son Heung-min (31) and Tottenham also bowed their heads. Tottenham suffered a 2-4 come-from-behind defeat to Manchester City.

Both teams had poor results in the previous game against their rivals. Tottenham lost 0-2 to Arsenal in the North London derby. Manchester City also lost 1-2 to Manchester United. It was such an important match.
The start was good for Tottenham. In the 44th minute of the first half, Dejan Kulusevski scored the opening goal. Thanks to goalkeeper Ederson’s pass mistake, he didn’t miss the chance he had and scored his second goal of the season with his left foot. Three minutes later, in extra time, Harry Kane kicked the ball into the air after hitting the goalkeeper, and Emerson Royal headed it to end the first half with a score of 2-0.
However, Tottenham’s defense collapsed again this time. In the 6th minute of the second half, Julian Alvarez scored a goal with his right foot, and Erling Hollan, who received a header from Riyad Mahrez, finished it with his head to equalize. Holland’s 22nd goal of the season. In the 18th minute of the second half, Mahrez led the turnaround with a direct shot after breaking through the dribble. In the 45th minute of the second half, Mahrez stole the opponent’s ball and scored a key goal. 스포츠토토
Son Heung-min, who took off his mask and played full-time on this day following the match against Arsenal, did not show much different. In the 36th minute of the first half, Ben Davies jumped up a cross from the left flank and headed it, the only shot. When I met Man City (7 goals, 3 assists in 15 matches), I could not see a particularly strong appearance. Soccer statistics sites also gave Son Heung-min a low rating.
