In the 15th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min attempted the first shot. Son Heung-min, who caught the ball near the left side of the penalty box, momentarily removed a defender with his body movements and attempted a trademark kick shot with his right foot.

This shot was blocked by goalkeeper Areola, but it hit the defense and hit the foot again, resulting in an own goal. It was an own goal created by Son Heung-min.
In the 15th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min even scored a goal himself. Son Heung-min, who received a pass from Pape Sar and faced a counterattack, attacked directly, peeled off the opponent’s defense with a scissors dribble, and finished with a left-footed shot, scoring the team’s fourth goal.

It was a choice made by Coach Postekoglou who did not overdo it as there was a tight schedule remaining.
West Ham completely collapsed in the 41st minute of the second half when Kudus was sent off for violent conduct. In the end, the game ended with Tottenham winning 4-1.
