Tottenham’s Son Heung-min took off his mask and played full-time against Arsenal against London, but could not prevent the team from losing.
He even got into an argument with his teammate Perisic when the game didn’t work out.

Son Heung-min appeared on the ground bare-faced without a face mask.
As if he had completely shaken off his orbital fracture injury, he moved freely, actively participating in competitions.
Contrary to their promise, Tottenham, who said they would catch their rivals at home, were shocked and struck a blow.
In the 14th minute of the first half, Saka’s ball from the side to the center hit goalkeeper Lloris and fell into the net.
Son Heung-min, who received a kill pass from Sessegnon in the 18th minute of the first half, had a 1:1 chance with the goalkeeper and fired a shot, but was blocked by a save and missed the opportunity to equalize.
Overcoming the crisis, Arsenal opened Tottenham’s goal wide in the 36th minute of the first half with a sharp mid-range shot from Oedegor.
Son Heung-min, who was unable to create a striking opportunity, tried to create a counterattack opportunity by using his teammates with pass play, but the breathing did not match properly.
Coach Conte increased the number of attacks by adding Perisic after Hischarlisson, who returned from injury, but the performance did not change much.
Son Heung-min tried to threaten the goal with sharp kicks one after another, but it did not lead to the goal of his teammates, and in the 39th minute of the second half, he tried a right-footed shot, but it was blocked by the defensive wall.
An even more disappointing scene came at the end of the match.
When Perisic, who did not receive Son Heung-min’s pass properly, was angry, he immediately expressed his dissatisfaction and created a conflict.
A 2-0 defeat at home to rivals Arsenal left Tottenham missing a chance to chase fourth-placed United.
