Son Heung-min started three consecutive league games and played the ground until the 37th minute of the second half as a left striker, but failed to score an offensive point.
It was a play that eclipsed the British media's choice of Son as Tottenham's key player ahead of the two teams' showdowns. Son was strong enough to score seven goals in 15 matches in the Premier League match against Liverpool, but he ended up feeling lethargic for 82 minutes on the day.
In particular, Son Heung-min was scoring in five consecutive games against Liverpool, where he played, but his scoring streak was stopped.
He also failed to score in three consecutive Premier League matches. Earlier, Son scored a comeback goal right before the end of the match against Chelsea in the 15th round, and scored his fourth goal of the season. At the match against Southampton in the 16th round, he showed off a one-man show with one goal and two assists, leading Tottenham to a landslide 5-0 victory.
Son Heung-min entertained Tottenham home fans by scoring a fantastic goal against Manchester United (Manchester United) in the quarterfinals of the Carabao Cup (League Cup) on the 20th, three days before the match against Liverpool, but this flow was cut off for now.
Tottenham produced a 4-2-3-1 formation on the day. Jed Spence, Archie Gray, Radu Dragusin, and Pedro Porro made the back four, replacing goalkeeper Gugliemo Vicario who is currently recovering from an ankle fracture. The double Volante was Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr. The second-line strikers were Son Heung-min, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski from the left. Dominique Solanke of the England national team is one-top.
Liverpool was also a 4-2-3-1 model. Alisson Becker was the gatekeeper as expected. The back four were And Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomes and Alexander Trent-Arnald. Alexis McAllister and Ryan Hravenberg stood at the third line. Luis Díaz, Dominique Sobosleri and Mohamed Salah appeared at the second line, and one-top was selected as a Cody student.
The game ended with a great victory for Liverpool, where Liverpool's top goaltender Salah, who is scoring the most goals in the active Premier League, scored two goals and two assists.
With 15 goals and 11 assists, Salah has become the lone top scorer in the league by beating over Elling Holan (Manchester City), who has been faltering in 13 goals. In the assists ranking, he has surpassed Bukayo Saka (10 goals) as No. 1 player. Born in 1992, he had been talked a lot due to issues with renewing contracts with Liverpool until recently, but proved that he has no problem with long-term contracts based on his skills.
In addition, Salah became the first player in the Premier League since its foundation in 1922, to win 10 goals and 10 assists before Christmas. Salah scored 10 goals and 10 assists for four consecutive seasons, which is also the first since the EPL's establishment. He used Tottenham as a sacrifice to achieve two Premier League titles at once.
Liverpool started to rush in the middle of the first half. Alexander-Arnald scored an early (early) cross from the right side in the 23rd minute, which Diaz jumped from among Tottenham defenders to score the first header.
He scored an additional goal in the 36th minute of the first half to make it 2-0. Gray tried his best to clear a left-footed cross that Van Dijk put up from a distance on the left side of the penalty area, but it fell in front of McAllister who was involved in the attack. McAllister scored with a header again.
Tottenham also chased Madison as he scored a comeback goal in front of the arc.
From this point on, Salah's show began.
Salah scored his first offensive point in the 46th minute of the first half by helping Sobosler's goal that gave Liverpool a 3-1 lead, and then scored his first goal of the game in the 9th minute of the second half. He calmly shot the ball that flowed out of the chaos of the gate with his left foot to break the net.
In the 16th minute of the second half, Sobosler finished the ball handed over from the left with his right foot to report a multi-goal. Sobosler received Robertson's pass and hit it to the left of the penalty area. Sobosler's pass was delivered to Salah, who was on the other side's no-mark chance. Salah lightly hit a shot with his left foot to give Liverpool a 5-1 lead.
Salah even helped Luis Díaz to the net that sealed Liverpool's 6-3 victory in the 40th minute of the second half.
With four goals behind Tottenham, Kulusevski scored one goal each in the 27th minute of the second half and Solanke in the 38th minute of the second half, but it was not enough to turn the game around.
Immediately after the match, Son told British broadcaster Sky Sports immediately after the match, "I was really disappointed with the result, and it is really painful for me to concede six goals. What should I say? As a soccer player, I always want to play games, but now is the time for us to work hard. I don't want to make excuses."
On the day, Cutoffside, a British media outlet, gave Son a rating of 3. Except for Frazier Foster, Son is the lowest rank among Tottenham field players.
