Son Heung-min Reacts to Painful 6-3 Defeat to Liverpool
Tottenham captain Son Heung-min reflects on their crushing 6-3 Premier League loss to Liverpool, urging teammates to improve.
Son Heung-min, captain of Tottenham, expressed deep disappointment after his team’s heavy 6-3 loss to Liverpool in the 17th round of the Premier League. The defeat marked Tottenham’s eighth loss of the season, leaving them in 11th place with 23 points.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Son stated, "This result is incredibly painful. Conceding six goals hurts a lot. As a footballer, you always aim to give your best. Right now, we need to work harder and regroup. I don’t want to make excuses, but we must do better as a team."
Liverpool’s high-quality players and tactical discipline punished Tottenham for their mistakes, further showcasing why they are currently league leaders. Son acknowledged Liverpool’s dominance, saying, "If you make mistakes against a team like Liverpool, they will punish you. They are at the top for a reason."
Despite recent successes, including a 5-0 victory over Southampton and a thrilling 4-3 win against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup, Tottenham failed to maintain their momentum against a formidable Liverpool side. Son concluded, "Today was a painful day, but we must stay together through tough times and come back stronger."
