Son seal the victory for Spurs!
According to Ole, Manchester United’s Lisandro Martínez expressed strong dissatisfaction with Son Heung-min during the match, accusing the South Korean star of time-wasting. In a fit of anger, Martínez shouted at Son, calling him a “coward” (Cagón)! However, Son chose not to engage with the provocation. Instead, he glanced back at Martínez before heading to the corner to take a set-piece.
Son score directly from corner kick!
Just 22 seconds later, Son let his actions speak louder than words—he scored directly from the corner kick, extending Tottenham’s lead to 4-2 and virtually sealing the game. Even Argentine media outlet Ole had to admit that Martínez’s taunt backfired spectacularly. On the pitch, the best way to respond to provocation is not with words, but with goals and victory that leave the provocateur speechless.
