(Seoul = Yonhap News) Reporter Lee Young-ho = Sohn Heung-min tasted’bad luck in the goal’. Tottenham of England’s professional football Premier League (EPL) kneeled in the rising West Ham and fell into the league’s second straight victory.
Tottenham lost 1-2 in an away game against West Ham in the 2020-2021 EPL round 25 held at the London Stadium in London on the 21st (Korean time).
Tottenham, who had been defeated 0-3 against Manchester City in the 24th round, knelt to West Ham again and suffered a loss of two consecutive regular league games. Tottenham, who was tied at 36 points, couldn’t easily stay in 9th place.
West Ham coach David Mois won his first victory in 16 games after winning 15 consecutive draws (6 draws and 9 losses) against Tottenham Jose Mourinho in the EPL match.
Son Heung-min started as a shadow striker behind one-top striker Harry Kane in Tottenham, who had a 4-4-1-1 tactic, and had to watch the goal after five minutes of kick-off.
West Ham’s Macyle Antonio was blocked by Tottenham goalkeeper Hugo Joris’ save when he shot a right-footed shot from Jared Boen’s cross to the left of the penalty area in the 5th minute.
However, Antonio quickly pushed the ball out of Joris’s body with his left foot to score a goal.
In the 16th minute of the first half, West Ham’s Tomasi Suchek and Tottenham’s Davinson Sanchez struck head-to-head in a heading competition.
