Son Heung-min (Tottenham) saved the team with a dramatic corner kick net.
In the quarterfinals of the 2024-2025 Carabao Cup (League Cup) against Manchester United at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, the U.K. on Tuesday (Korea time), Son Heung-min scored a last-minute goal to win the title. Tottenham advanced to the semifinals and raised its hopes of winning the trophy.
Tottenham led with Dominic Solanke’s first goal in the 15th minute of the first half, Dejan Klusevski’s additional goal in the first minute of the second half and Solanke’s multi-goal in the 9th minute of the second half seemed to signal victory.
Since then, however, he has caused a crisis due to a series of mistakes, making fans nervous. As the defense line and goalie Frazier Foster were not compatible, they lost two goals to the opponent team.
Tottenham goalkeeper Foster’s first mistake came in the 18th minute of the second half. The Tottenham defender passed the ball over to Foster, who, under opposition pressure, passed the ball sideways but was cut off by the rushing opponent Joshua Zirkje, leading to a loss.
Foster made another error seven minutes later, putting a damper on his rise. After receiving a back pass from a fellow defender, he was unable to handle the ball quickly, and the ball, which he was trying to kick in a hurry, was caught by Manchester United’s Ahmad Diallo, who ran like a bird, and rather entered the net.
Tottenham was chased by two ridiculous scenes.
However, Tottenham’s Son Heung-min changed the mood by scoring a lucky corner kick in the 43rd minute of the second half. Son’s corner kick turned wide and became a direct goal that was strongly inserted into the Manchester United goal on the other side. 토토사이트
Son scored three goals in a row, including the league and the Cup, to become the seventh goal of the season (five goals in the regular league). He also has double-digit goals for the ninth consecutive season.
Tottenham gave up a goal to Manchester United’s Evans in extra time, but Son Heung-min was able to keep the victory with a wide gap.
Son Heung-min, who worked diligently from the beginning and boosted his team’s power with strong shots and sensational passes, received the third highest score in the Vivi score after Solanke and Klusevski.
