Tottenham star Son Heung-Min was left disconsolate after Leicester City ran out 4-1 winners at the King Power Stadium on Saturday. The win puts City six points above the drop zone, but for Spurs defeat puts a dent in their hopes of qualifying for next season’s Champions League. They have now lost half of their eight league games since returning from the World Cup break. After the final whistle, a despondent Son noted that City, who have now scored eight goals in their last two matches, possess a real clinical edge at the moment and the North London outfit will have to learn from the defeat quickly.
Heung Min Son said: “We started quite well and created chances. After it was 1-1 we conceded a quick second goal and then it was open. It was a difficult game then. Leicester were so clinical, they almost scored with every chance. It’s a very disappointing result. I think it’s very sad. We knew it was going to be a really hard game. In the Premier League it’s never an easy game. It showed the Premier League has a high level. I don’t know what I can say, it’s very disappointing.” I don’t think [it was complacency]. We came with a good feeling after beating [Manchester] City. The first minute we were really on it. We should be ready and learn something. Today should be a big lesson for us.”
