Mauricio Pochettino’s Tottenham Hotspur lost to West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.
Son, who can operate as a winger or as a forward, featured for Tottenham in the Premier League game against West Bromwich Albion away from home at The Hawthorns on Saturday afternoon.
The 25-year-old did not start the match, but South Korea international came on as a substitute midway through the second half.
Former Southampton attacking midfielder Le Tissier was following the match for Sky Sports, and he suggested that manager Pochettino should have started Son in place of 26-year-old Argentina international star Erik Lamela, who can operate as a winger or as an attacking midfielder.
Le Tissier said on the Gillette Soccer Saturday show on Sky Sports Premier League on Saturday evening (5:06pm, May 5, 2018): “They looked like they missed Son.
“I think having him on the bench was probably not a great thing for them. I think he gives them something a little bit different that Lamela certainly doesn’t give them.”
Top-four place in doubt?
Tottenham were expected to win against West Brom, who are in danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
The North London outfit are now in danger of missing out on a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, although they are still in the Champions League places.
