Son Heung-min (Tottenham) returned from injury and contributed to the team’s victory with his third assist of the season, but expressed dissatisfaction with the early replacement.
Tottenham led the 10th round home game of the 2024-2025 English Professional Football Premier League (EPL) against Aston Villa at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 3rd (Korean time) with a 4-1 victory. After conceding a goal first, they came back with an equalizer from Brennan Johnson, two goals from Dominic Solanke, and a key goal from James Maddison.

In the first half of the day, Tottenham tried to break the game with short passes, but were unable to properly penetrate Villa’s defense. On the other hand, Villa sat back and aimed for the space behind the opponent. In the end, Tottenham conceded the first goal to Morgan Rogers from Villa’s corner kick in the 32nd minute of the first half.
Son Heung-min, who played as a left wing attacker, saved the team. He didn’t show much in the first half, but he helped Johnson’s equalizer with a sharp cross in the 4th minute of the second half. He wandered to the left of the penalty area and kicked the ball strongly with his left foot, which passed the Villa defense and connected with Johnson’s right foot as he rushed to the right of the goal.

Son Heung-min has had a difficult time recently due to injury. He missed four official games due to an injury to the muscle behind his thigh (hamstring), and after scoring a return goal against West Ham United on the 19th of last month, he was unable to play in the next two games again. However, he showed off his health in his return after three games.
The team gained momentum with an assist, but Son Heung-min was replaced by Richarlison in the 11th minute of the second half. Son Heung-min seemed embarrassed by the unexpected substitution. Son Heung-min’s expression was dark as he greeted coach Anzhi Postekoglou, and he showed his dissatisfaction even while sitting on the bench.

After the game, Coach Postekoglou revealed that replacing Son Heung-min early was to protect the player. He said, “He got injured again when he played about 60 minutes against West Ham when he returned. Regardless of how the game went, Son Heung-min was not scheduled to play more than 55 to 60 minutes.” He added, “There are many battles left for us to fight in the future. “He will be needed.”
