However, it was argued that Son Heung-min’s performance was disappointing. Chris Sutton, who is active as a commentator on British public broadcasters ‘BBC’ and ‘BT Sports’, said in an interview with ‘BT Sports’, “It was a good development from Po to Richarli Song. He initially tried to send it to Son Heung-min, but Worral removed it. It went back to Richarlison, and he crossed to the far side,” he explained Son Heung-min’s scoring situation again.
However, he evaluated that Son Heung-min’s overall game influence was disappointing. “Son Heung-min received it with a good touch, dragged the ball and fired a shot,” Sutton claimed. “Son Heung-min was quite quiet, and Richarlison was much more threatening on the right flank.”
