Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-Min is very sad after the defeat to Leicester City
Tottenham forward Son Heung-Min was in a sombre mood after his side’s 4-1 defeat to Leicester City on Saturday. Speaking to Match of the Day as quoted by Football.London after the game, Son expressed his disappointment with the result, stating that the game was “very sad.”
The South Korean international acknowledged that the game was always going to be a difficult one, given the level of competition in the Premier League. It felt like revenge for Tottenham’s 6-2 win earlier this season.
Son praised Leicester for their clinical finishing, stating that they almost scored every chance that came their way. He emphasised how disappointed he was with the result, and how he didn’t know what to say about it.

The defeat was a tough one for Tottenham to swallow, especially given the high expectations they had for the game. The Lilywhites are pushing for a top-four finish and the loss is going to hit them hard.
The loss to Leicester was a reality check for Tottenham, who are now faced with the task of regrouping and bouncing back from the defeat. The team has been through some rough patches this season, but they have also shown moments of brilliance.
Speaking about the situation, here is what Son had to say after the crushing defeat to the Foxes.
“We started quite well and created chances. After it was 1-1 we conceded a quick second goal and then it was open. It was a difficult game then. Leicester were so clinical, they almost scored every chance. It’s a very disappointing result”
“I think it’s very sad. We knew it was going to be a really hard game. In the Premier League it’s never an easy game. It showed the Premier League has a high level. I don’t know what I can say, it’s very disappointing”

As one of Tottenham’s key players, Son has a big role to play in their upcoming matches. He has not really been at his best this season. The South Korean has struggled in patches much like the entire team.
Tottenham are very inconsistent for a team that wants to finish in the top four. If they wish to finish in a Champions League spot, they need to buckle up and find a way to get a result going their way.
