EPL Takes Note Of Angry Son Heung-min; Manager Reveals Reason For Substitution
Son's Frustration Visible After Being Substituted
Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min was visibly frustrated after being substituted off in the second half of their Premier League match against Manchester United on Saturday.
The South Korean had scored Tottenham's only goal in the match, but was taken off in the 72nd minute for Lucas Moura. Son appeared to be angry with the decision, and was seen arguing with manager Jose Mourinho on the touchline.
Mourinho Explains Substitution
After the match, Mourinho explained that he had taken Son off because he was tired and needed to rest.
"He played 90 minutes against Aston Villa in the Carabao Cup in midweek, and he's played a lot of football this season," Mourinho said. "I felt that he was tired, and I wanted to give him a rest."
Son's Importance To Tottenham
Son is one of Tottenham's most important players, and his frustration is understandable. He has scored 16 goals in all competitions this season, and is a key part of Mourinho's team.
Tottenham will be hoping that Son can put his frustration behind him and continue to perform at a high level. They have a big match against Liverpool on Thursday, and will need Son to be at his best if they want to win.
