Tottenham star Son Heung-min missed a penalty in South Korea’s 2-1 win over Uruguay and said he would not be taking penalties any more.

Although the penalty was saved by Fernando Muslera in the second half, Hwang Ui-jo scored to save the blushes of the attacker.

Son had seen a penalty come off the post in a 2-0 win over Costa Rica last month, as per Yonhap News, but Lee Jae-sung scored from the rebound.

The Koreans had something to celebrate as they beat a quality Uruguay side, but Son wasn’t impressed with his effort.

The 26-year-old was quoted by Yonhap News as saying:

“We played a great game as a team to win, but personally, I still have a lot of room for improvement.

“It hurt my pride to miss the penalty.”

“I don’t think I’ll be taking any more penalties.”

Son added that the next game against Panama would be his last for the country this year. The South Korean is set to return for the Asian Cup in January which takes place in the United Arab Emirates.

“The Panama match will be my last for the year, and I’d like to finish the season on a high note.”

Son picked up the Gold medal in the Asian games and didn’t feature for a number of Tottenham games during his time in Indonesia.

The attacker hasn’t performed great for Spurs and hopefully, will be amongst the goals soon.
