Son Heung-min Criticized by Tottenham Fans After North London Derby Defeat
Tottenham Hotspur fans have turned their frustration toward captain Son Heung-min following the team’s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby. Some supporters branded Son as the “worst captain we’ve ever had” after his post-match comments, calling him “deluded” for his perceived lack of urgency regarding the team’s current struggles.
Spurs went into the derby hoping for a performance that would ignite their 2024-25 season but were left disappointed as Brazilian defender Gabriel’s goal secured a 1-0 victory for Arsenal. The defeat leaves Tottenham with just four points from four Premier League games, placing them 13th in the table.
The reaction from fans has been particularly harsh toward Son, who was expected to lead by example after being handed the captaincy. Many are questioning his leadership abilities after his post-match interview, where his comments did not seem to reflect the level of concern many fans have about the team’s form.
Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou is also under pressure, with fans demanding a positive response in their upcoming Carabao Cup clash against Coventry and a crucial Premier League fixture at home against Brentford.
