South Korean Teammate's Gesture Foils Son Heung-min's Penalty
During Tottenham's 2-2 draw with Wolves, Hwang Hee-chan's subtle signal to goalkeeper José Sá led to Son Heung-min's penalty miss, sparking debate among fans.
In a recent Premier League match between Tottenham Hotspur and Wolverhampton Wanderers, a notable incident occurred involving South Korean internationals Son Heung-min and Hwang Hee-chan. The game, which ended in a 2-2 draw, featured a missed penalty by Son, with Hwang playing a controversial role in the outcome.
The pivotal moment transpired in the 43rd minute when Tottenham was awarded a penalty after Brennan Johnson was fouled inside the box. As Son prepared to take the spot-kick, Hwang, playing for Wolves, was observed gesturing towards his goalkeeper, José Sá, indicating that he should dive to his right. Sá heeded the advice, diving to his right and successfully saving Son's penalty attempt.
This incident has sparked discussions among fans and analysts, with some interpreting Hwang's actions as a strategic move to aid his club, while others view it as a betrayal of his compatriot. Despite the missed penalty, Tottenham briefly took the lead through a goal by Brennan Johnson. However, Wolves equalized late in the match, resulting in a 2-2 draw.
The outcome leaves Tottenham with only one win in their last seven Premier League matches, placing them 11th in the league standings. They are set to face Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semi-finals, aiming to improve their recent form.
