Son Heung-min saved Tottenham from a swamp of three consecutive losses by scoring one goal and one assist against Manchester City, which has a history of treble. Tottenham drew 3-3 in the 14th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League (EPL) against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England on the 4th (Korea time).

Son shook the net with a right-footed shot following a stormy run just six minutes into the match. It was his ninth goal in the EPL this season and his eighth goal in 18 games against Manchester City.

Son Heung-min dedicated his own goal 137 seconds after the first goal, but in the 24th minute of the second half, he assisted Giovanni Rossellso's equalizer. Tottenham was shaken by allowing Manchester City's Phil Foden and Jack Grealish to score consecutive goals, but Dejan Kulusevski scored a dramatic equalizer in the 45th minute of the second half to earn a valuable point.

Son Heung-min is definitely the top topic of conversation. It was not just the point of attack. He devoted all of his energy to escape consecutive losses. His activities and speed were beyond imagination.

Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher also praised the move. "There is no place more difficult for a striker, center forward or one-top to play than Manchester City. There are not many chances to receive the ball. However, Son did not stop running. He scored the goal himself, and he was a good player with his teammates. When talking about great players in the league who were aggressive, you might think of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane or a few players from Manchester City. However, you might have seen Son today. He did not stop running. He was the leader and real captain of the away match."


Manchester United's Marcus Rashford was also recalled. Rashford grew up to be a savior last season, scoring 17 goals and 5 assists in 35 league games.

However, he only had two goals and one assist in 13 games this season. Notably, he is under fire for his performance.

Manchester United lost 0-1 in an away match against Newcastle United on the 3rd. It has recorded three consecutive losses against Newcastle for the first time in 101 years since 1922.

Carragher said, "We're not asking Rashford to score a goal and assist. We've seen it in the past, but the point of attack will come. What we're asking for is leadership. The players have to look up to Rashford. He's Manchester United, the embodiment of this soccer club, and he has to lead them. Manchester United is an incredible soccer club and will come back to the top. However, it's Rashford's job as a youth to lead Manchester United."
