Tottenham hope of wining the league comes alive

The hopes of the wining the league title for Tottenham came alive after what’s was termed a controversial win. However, following the dramatic win of Arsenal at the Emirates stadium, Tottenham Hotspur are currently league leaders thereby rejuvenating her hopes of winning the a silver where.

Darren Bent thinks Son Heung-min ‘took it personally’ when Tottenham Hotspur parted ways with Harry Kane this summer.

It was also easy for pundits to suggest that Tottenham would struggle because their all-time leading goalscorer was now playing for Bayern Munich.

Given that so many goals were heading out of the building, then the questions were being raised as to ‘who will step up?’.

But that’s where Son Heung-min put his hand up, with Darren Bent adding that ‘when he is in full flow, then no-one can stop him’, as he told Premier League Productions (07/10/23 at 12:15 pm).

After starting on the left during the opening few weeks of the campaign, Ange Postecoglou pushed the South Korean star down the middle against Burnley and he proceeded to score a hat-trick.

The previous campaign, by Son Heung-min’s standards, was a real struggle, as he managed only ten goals, well, he already has six to his name now.

He has been fantastic,” said Bent. “It’s almost a blessing Kane leaving. He got off to a bit of a slow start playing from the left.

“But since he has moved to centre-forward, with that first game against Burnley, he hasn’t looked back. A really intelligent footballer.

When the chaos is moving toward the goal. He always hangs back a little bit. Gives himself space. Finds that space in the box, and then he is a really, really good finisher as we know. One of his biggest strengths is that he can finish with both feet. The moment he is in full flow, then no one can catch him.

No main goalscorer for Spurs

The most important thing with Kane leaving is that it’s allowed the team to spread the responsibility, including the goals.

“He is somebody who they moved to centre-forward when Kane left and he has gone ‘do you know what. I can score the goals’ and he has been absolutely brilliant this season – it almost looks like, to me, that he took it personally. When everyone thought ‘how are they going to get on without Harry Kane? They are probably going to finish bottom-half’. He said ‘no, I can carry this club forward’ and he is doing that.”

Yes, Son, with his captaincy in hand, will be seen as the senior figure and the one to guide them over the line.

But from James Maddison, Dejan Kulusevski, Brennan Johnson and Richarlison. They will all be expected to step up.
