Son Heung Min’s unbelievable missed moment created a turning point for the great battle of Tottenham – Man City and the championship race, top 4 of the Premier League.

In the 86th minute of the match between Tottenham and Man City, taking advantage of Akanji’s moment of inattention, the Tottenham player stole the ball right in the opponent’s field. Son Heung Min had a chance to face Stefan Ortega, but the Korean superstar finished too gently and allowed the away team’s goalkeeper to block. On the sideline, the camera lens recorded the moment coach Pep Guardiola fell backward onto the field because of this miss. 

Son Heung Min had reason to regret because at that time, Man City was leading 1-0. Even just a few minutes after the Tottenham captain’s missed moment, Erling Haaland scored the final 2-0 victory for the “blue half of Manchester”.

With this result, Man City officially took over the top spot in the Premier League table from Arsenal with 88 points/37 matches, 2 points more than the “Gunners”. In the context of only 1 round left in the season, their opportunity to successfully defend the championship and be crowned English football king for the 4th consecutive time is very close.  

Besides Arsenal, Tottenham also “surrendered” in the competition for 4th place, equivalent to the last place in the Champions League because of the loss to Man City. “Rooster” ranked 5th with 63 points/37 matches, 5 points behind Aston Villa.
