Unexpected outcomes in sports often lead to strong reactions, but Son Heung-min's response to Tottenham's poor performance under Ange Postecoglou stood out for its level of anger.
Spurs lost 3-0 to Fulham, putting a dent in hopes of a top-four finish. Son, usually known for his calm and composed demeanour, expressed his disappointment in a striking manner as he addressed the media.
Quoted by the Mirror, Son said: "We haven’t given everything, including me, which is really painful," Son said. "We have to bounce back. We cannot just give up in games. I am devastated, disappointed, frustrated."
"As captain of this club, I want to apologise to the Tottenham fans, they don’t deserve that result, they don’t deserve that performance."
"Everybody has to look in the mirror and say 'It is my fault'. Everyone needs a big wake-up call."
"Everybody has to come back firing," Son continued. "You go to the national team, you represent your country, but also you have to think about it, you are representing Spurs and the Premier League."
Just six days after achieving their best result of the season, a 4-0 victory against Aston Villa, Spurs suffered a surprising collapse during their match against Fulham. This sudden turnaround only emphasized how strange and unexpected their performance was.
