Concerns about Son Heung-min continue.

Tottenham Hotspur lost 0-4 to Newcastle United in the 33rd round of the Premier League PL of the 2023-24 season at St. James' Park in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, at 8:30 p.m. on the 13th . Tottenham 60 points, 65 points, 49 goals, +16 goals fell to fifth place, trailing Aston Villa 60 points, 66 points, +17, and Newcastle 50 points ranked sixth.

Postecoglou brought out the 4-2-3-1 formation. The one-top striker was Son Heung-min. In the second line, Timo Werner, James Maddison and Brennan Johnson fired supportively. Rodrigo Bentancur and Yves Bissouma were in charge of the midfield. Destiny Udoji, Mickey van der Pen, Christian Romero and Pedro Porro were in defense. Guglielmo Vicario kept the goal.

However, the result was shocking. Newcastle took the lead with Alexander Isak's first goal in the 30th minute and Anthony Gordon's second goal in the 32nd minute. Isak even scored multiple goals in the 6th minute of the second half.

Tottenham, which was losing, threw a match in the 12th minute of the second half by excluding Bissouma, Bentancur and Son Heung-min and putting Pierre-Emile Hoibier, Papesar and Dejan Kulusevski.

Nevertheless, it did not come to fruition. Giovanni Lo Celso replaced Madison in the 36th minute of the second half but it was useless. On the contrary, he allowed Fabian Cher an additional point in the face of corner kick crisis right before the end of the game. Ultimately, Tottenham suffered a shocking 0-4 defeat.

Football London in the U.K. gave four points to Werner, Madison, and Johnson, and three points to Son Heung-min. "It was a bad day for the captain. I struggled in the center, but I lost two runs after the turnovers. I was substituted in the 58th minute."

Among the points of today's match, Son Heung-min's hard work was selected. Football London said, "Son Heung-min was replaced after just 58 minutes. It was surprising that Postecoglou did not include him. Son did not have a significant impact on the matches against West Ham United and Nottingham Forest."

"Son Heung-min, who moved to the center after Hishalisson's injury, may benefit from moving to the left. He sometimes tried to come down to a lower area and lead the attack. Unfortunately, the loss of the ball in Newcastle led to two out of four runs," he said.
