Tottenham star Son Heung-min says fightback against Man driven by ‘anger’
Tottenham’s fightback against Manchester United was driven by “anger” after last weekend’s “unacceptable” defeat, said forward Son Heung-min. Tottenham lost their previous game 6-1 at Newcastle and trailed 2-0 on Thursday before pegging United back.
Said Heung-min:The draw at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in Ryan Mason’s first game back as interim manager was enough to lift Spurs above Liverpool and Aston Villa into the fifth spot.READ: Why PSL and Safa are at warWe couldn’t let the game go. We were really angry about it. We didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down at half-time. The last week was unacceptable, and we didn’t want to repeat that. We feel really, really sorry for the performance and result and today we wanted to bring a good energy. We really appreciated [the fans’] support, and they were fighting with us.Former Tottenham player Mason, who also took interim charge when Jose Mourinho was dismissed in April 2021, said it was important for Spurs to build on the result after a torrid run that had led to three different managers in a month. Cristian Stellini was put in charge following Antonio Conte’s departure but was sacked after the Newcastle thrashing on Sunday, with Mason taking over until the end of the season.“It has been difficult after Sunday as the manner of the defeat wasn’t nice,” added Mason. “The most important thing now and until end of the season is to act as a team. Small details can change results. The most important thing to me will always be together. “To see a team that was fighting for each other, it’s important in football and probably the most important thing.” Manchester United travelled to Spurs on the back of beating Brighton on penalties in the FA Cup semifinal on Sunday and went 2-0 up following first-half goals from Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford before failing to secure the win. United have a six point advantage and two games in hand on Spurs and sixth-placed Aston Villa, who they host on Sunday.Brighton vs Wolves, 4pmNewcastle vs Southampton, 3pmWe live in a world where facts and fiction get blurred In times of uncertainty you need journalism you can trust.
