Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho also expressed regret that Son Heung-min (28)’s’Tottenham 100 goal’ was lost.
English professional football Tottenham won 3-1 in the quarterfinal match between Stoke City (Part 2) and 2020-2021 League Cup (Carabao Cup) held at the Bet 365 Stadium in Stoke on Trent, England on the 24th (Korean time), but Son Heung-min won I missed one goal with a regrettable decision and swallowed up regret.
Son Heung-min, who was substituted at the start of the second half, shook the net with a right-footed shot after receiving a pass from Harry Kane in the 31st minute of the second half, but was declared offside and no goal was recognized.
It is judged that Son Heung-min’s position was offside when Kane passed, but on the screen, one of the opponents was in front of Son Heung-min, so it seemed that he was not offside.
When the flag was raised, Son Heung-min also waved his finger and responded that he was not offside.
However, there was no way to overturn the decision because video reading (VAR) was not conducted in the quarterfinals on this day.
The English Football League (EFL) mandated the enforcement of VAR from the quarter-finals of the League Cup, so there was no need to apply VAR in the quarter-finals.
If this goal was recognized as a goal, it could be the 100th goal that Son Heung-min scored in a Tottenham uniform, but the decision finally caught on.
After the game, coach Mauinho said, “If there was a VAR, Son Heung-min’s goal would have been recognized as a goal.”
The local media also felt sorry for Son Heung-min’s score cancellation.
The BBC said, “Son Heung-min scored, but offside was declared.
“The VAR didn’t run when needed.”
Football London gave Son Heung-min a good score of 6, explaining that “It was incredibly bad luck that the score was canceled offside.”
