Tottenham lost 2-4 in the 2023-24 EPL round 36 away game against Liverpool held at Anfield, England on the 6th (Korean time).

Son Heung-min, who was playing his 300th EPL game, played full-time and scored his 120th EPL goal and 17th goal this season.

However, despite Son Heung-min's performance, Tottenham fell into a swamp of 4 consecutive losses, recording 18 wins, 6 draws, and 11 losses (60 points), failing to close the gap with 4th place Aston Villa (67 points). It is a consolation that Aston Villa was unable to add points after losing to Brighton, but it does not seem easy for Tottenham to catch up.

On this day, Tottenham had a difficult game, being lopsided by Liverpool from the first half. In the 7th minute of the first half, Mohamed Salah's out-of-front cross hit the goalpost, threatening Tottenham. In the 9th minute of the first half, Harvey Elliott's shot went into an empty goal, but Pedro Foro blocked it with a close-range defense. 스포츠 토토사이트

Tottenham was unable to advance due to Liverpool's forward pressure and committed several turnovers in the defensive area, contributing to the crisis.

In the end, Tottenham's goal was opened. In the 16th minute of the first half, Salah turned around and headed in Cody Hakpo's cross to score. Even after giving up the first goal, Tottenham's defense was hardly organized. Liverpool pounded Tottenham with a variety of attacking options, including Luis Diaz's acrobatic scissors shot in the 40th minute of the first half and Alexander Arnault's mid-range shot in the 43rd minute of the first half. Then, they scored one more goal before the first half was over. In the 45th minute of the first half, Salah's shot was blocked by Guglielmo Vicario, and Andy Robertson put it back with ease. Tottenham ended the first half helplessly at 0-2, failing to attempt a single effective shot during the first half and conceding 14 shots. Liverpool's one-sided attack continued in the second half. In the 5th minute of the second half, Hakpo headed Elliott's cross and scored a goal. In the 14th minute of the second half, Elliott scored with a fantastic mid-range shot after Salah gave the ball away. Liverpool easily scored through various areas of the Tottenham area, but Tottenham was unable to control it at all. Tottenham, who seemed to be suffering a crushing defeat, came back to life little by little in the final minutes of the second half. It started in the 27th minute of the second half when Richarlison converted Brennan Johnson's cross into a makeshift goal. Son Heung-min, who had been isolated throughout the first half, also showed strength. Son Heung-min flashed twice by breaking past two defenders on the left flank, and in the 32nd minute of the second half, he received a pass from Richarlison and scored an additional goal with a calm finish. Son Heung-min's 17th goal this season and 120th in his EPL career. In addition, Son Heung-min set a rare record of scoring in five consecutive games against Liverpool. But Tottenham’s pursuit ended here. Afterwards, Tottenham ended the game with a two-goal loss as Richarlison was unable to capitalize on James Maddison's good chance.  일본야동
