Tottenham Hotspur, a professional soccer team in England, won its first victory under Son Heung-min’s captaincy.
Tottenham won 2-0 with Pape Sar’s winning goal in the second half in the second round of the 2023-2024 Premier League (EPL) against Manchester United (Man United) held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the morning of the 20th (Korean time).
Son Heung-min, who played full-time leading the team attack from the side and center, failed to raise the attack point, but scored his first victory after being appointed captain.
Coach Engie Postecoglu, who took over the helm this season, also made her official debut at Tottenham.
Tottenham, who ended up in a disappointing 2-2 draw with Brentford on the road, sounded the first win of the season in front of their home fans.
As in the previous game, Coach Postecoglu brought out a 4-2-3-1 tactic with Son Heung-min on the left, Hisharlisson in the front, and Dejan Kulusevski in the right.
In the first half, Son Heung-min seemed to be concentrating on creating opportunities for his teammates.
In the 30th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min’s sensuous penetrating pass led to Sar’s shot, but it was blocked by the goalkeeper.
Ten minutes later, Son Heung-min pulled in two defenders, and Pedro Poro finished the pass with a shot, hitting the post.
In the ensuing situation, Sar’s cross from the right hit the defender, refracted and hit the post.

Tottenham, who gained momentum from the middle of the first half, eventually ran away with Sar’s opening goal in the 4th minute of the second half.
A cutback passed by Kulusevski from the right side hit the defense and was refracted, and Sarr, who was rushing to the goal, finished it with his left foot and shook the net.
Tottenham overcame Manchester United’s fierce equalizer hunt that followed. In the 6th minute of the second half, Manchester United’s Anthony’s left-footed shot hit the post, and in the 10th minute, Casemiro’s header was barely cleared by goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario.
In the 25th minute of the second half, when Hisharlisson was removed and Ivan Perisic, a side resource, was put in, Son Heung-min moved to the forefront and stepped out with his “claws”.
Tottenham sealed the win with an own goal in the 38th minute of the second half.
Ben Davies’ left-footed shot was cleared by Manchester United’s Lisandro Martinez and headed toward his own goal.
