ByThe U.K.'s "TBR Football" highlighted Pardew's remarks that came after the match between Tottenham and Newcastle United on Wednesday (Korea time). Pardew is familiar to Korean fans as he coached West Ham United, Newcastle United and Crystal Palace. When he was at Newcastle, he was named the Premier League (PL) Coach of the Year.
Appearing on a radio program hosted by Talk Sports in the U.K., Pardew said, "I really love Son Heung-min. I think he is an outstanding player. He always plays with a smile on his face. In this match, Son was confident. He faced off against a very tired Kieran Trippier, who looked a little strange, but he shone."
Son Heung-min's performance in the match against Newcastle was truly world-class. Tottenham manager Enze Postecoglou sent Hishalisson as a striker and hired Son as a left wing forward again. The plan was to turn Son Heung-min to the left and target Trippier, whose performance has been unstable recently.
Son made 120% of his goal. Having given Trippier a hard time from the start, Son scored his team's first goal in the 26th minute of the first half. Showing confidence in a one-on-one situation with Trippier, Son peeled off the ball and scored a sharp cross, which was pushed in by Destiny Udoji.
Son played with Trippier once again in the 37th minute of the first half. Also, Son's competition between the two players on the sidelines ended with Son's victory, and Son's cross led to a goal through Hishalisson's foot. Afterwards, Son cooked Trippier perfectly and played an active role.
After Hishalisson was replaced, Son Heung-min moved to the center. Son Heung-min induced a penalty kick in the 38th minute of the second half and even scored a goal. Tottenham ended its winless streak thanks to Son Heung-min's performance, who scored one goal and two assists.
