Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola praised Son Heung-min’s cleverness in winning a penalty and expressed his disappointment at being held to a 2-2 draw by Tottenham Hotspur. The

Cherries took a two-goal lead before Pape Sar equalised and in the 83rd minute. Son broke into the left side of the penalty area, dribbled past Kepa. Who couldn’t stop himself and made a contact with the Tottenham captain, who fell to the ground.

Referee John Brooks did not hesitate to award a penalty. And Son rose to convert it into the middle of the goal, who later missed out on all three points. Iraola was asked for his opinion:

“Son is an intelligent player and did very well in this situation,” the Spanish head coach said. “I think in this situation, he forgot about scoring and everything else. “

Son was just trying to buy time to force Kepa to make a contact and he did that. Kepa allowed the contact to happen for some reason. “

Even though it was a small contact, VAR usually doesn’t overturn decisions like this. The referee on the field gave the penalty โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที spot. And that is a loss for us.”

The result leaves Bournemouth in eighth place, five points adrift of the top four, and Iraola expressed his disappointment: “Going into the game, to get a point here would not be the worst result. We have a difficult opponent and a difficult stadium for visitors. “

But as the game went on, from the performance we performed, of course it felt like two points were lost. We pressed well and won the ball up front a lot. “

We had two shots saved in the first five minutes, we should have used our chances better, we had to be more clinical. “

Big teams, the teams that have achieved big results, can win games when they don’t play well, which was the opposite for us because today was another game where we played well but only got a point.
