Son Heung-min bid farewell to Lucas Moura, who is leaving Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham lost 1-3 to Brentford in the 37th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2022-23 season held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 20th at 8:30 pm (Korean time). Tottenham, who did not score points, stayed in 7th place, and then went down to 8th place according to the results of Aston Villa’s game.
For Tottenham, the match against Brentford on this day was the last home game of the season. Tottenham is experiencing various ups and downs, such as plummeting results in the second half and criticism of chairman Daniel Levy, but there was enough reason to win the last home game to continue the hopes of the next season with the beauty of the species.
The start was good too. Tottenham showed a stable balance and pressed Brentford. In the 8th minute of the first half, Harry Kane’s early opening goal took the lead and completely dominated the atmosphere in the first half. Tottenham, who finished the first half 1-0, enjoyed the second half happily.
But in the second half, Brentford was completely different. Brian Mbemo in the front started to move menacingly, and Tottenham conceded two goals to him. Tottenham, who started to panic here, lost 1-3 with Oliver Skip’s mistake at the last minute and Yoane Wissa’s key goal.
Tottenham could not reap the beauty of the last home game of the day, but it had another meaning. It was also Lucas Moura’s last home game. Moura is leaving Tottenham at the end of this season. Tottenham officially announced the breakup on the 19th (Korean time) on the official website, saying, “Moura will leave the club as soon as his contract ends at the end of the season.” Moura also showed his affection for Tottenham by shedding tears in the farewell video. 스포츠토토
