Son Heung-min played well for Tottenham Hotspur against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has given his take on Tottenham Hotspur star Son Heung-min’s performance to the club’s official website.

Good performance

Klopp seems to have been impressed with the display produced by Son – who can operate as a winger or as a forward – during Liverpool’s 2-1 win against Tottenham at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday evening.

The 27-year-old South Korea international caused Reds central defender Dejan Lovren quite a few problems, hit the frame of the Merseyside outfit’s goal twice, and had a very good game on a personal level.

Stats

According to WhoScored, against Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday, Son took five shots of which one was on target, had a pass accuracy of 81%, won 45 touches, attempted two dribbles, and made two tackles and one interception and three clearances.

So far this season, Son has made seven starts and one substitute appearance in the Premier League for Tottenham, scoring two goals and providing two assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Praise

Klopp told Liverpool’s official website when asked whether he made a tactical tweak at half time to get Trent Alexander-Arnold into the game more: “That’s what we thought when we saw the line-up that we do it like this, but I think Son was pretty busy with Trent, to be honest. He was constantly on his bike.”
