Tottenham's 4-1 defeat to Leicester Son Heung-min: This is an important lesson


In the 23rd round of the 2022/23 Premier League season, Tottenham Hotspur relied on Bentancur to score a goal, but in the end they lost to Leicester 1-4 away. After the game, South Korean star Son Heung-min said in an interview with the media that the team should learn important lessons from this defeat.


Tottenham Hotspur defeated defending champion Manchester City 1-0 at home after relying on striker Kane to score a goal in the last round of the league.


However, in this round of the league, Tottenham Hotspur, who played away, suffered a serious setback from Leicester , which was in sharp contrast to the performance of the last defeat against Manchester City.


When Son Heung-min was interviewed by the media, he also admitted that he could not understand what happened to the team. He said, "We started well and created opportunities. But after the score became 1-1, we conceded the second goal very quickly, and then the game became more difficult. It was a game. Not an easy game, Leicester were very calm, they seized every opportunity to grab points, this is a very disappointing result."

"I find it very sad and we know it's going to be a tough game. It's never an easy game in the Premier League. It shows how high the level of the Premier League is and I'm at the moment. I don’t know what else to say, it’s very disappointing.”


After this defeat, Tottenham Hotspur are currently ranked 5th in the standings with 39 points, and they are still 2 points behind Newcastle, which is in the Champions League qualification zone, after one more round.


Son Heung-min also said, "I don't think it's complacency. We feel good after we won Manchester City. We put the state of the game in the first minute, and we should always be ready to learn something. Today is for us. It should be a very important lesson."


Coach Conte has returned to the team earlier after undergoing gallbladder surgery. At present, the team's attention will temporarily shift to the upcoming UEFA Champions League match against Serie A giants AC Milan. With Lloris absent due to injury, Conte's team has become increasingly difficult to compete for the championship.
