Gary Neville was left baffled by Heung-Min Son constantly falling over during Tottenham’s 3-2 defeat against Manchester United on Saturday at Old Trafford, as he told Sky Sports PL.
The Sky pundit added that the Tottenham flyer was the only player on the pitch who was finding himself slipping during the game.
When hat-trick hero Cristiano Ronaldo was subbed, Spurs went straight back on the attack, but Son found himself on the deck once again whilst being in a very good opportunity.
Given that the South Korean was the only one slipping, then it was clearly a problem with his studs more than anything else.
But this is what Neville’s reaction to Son constantly falling over at Old Trafford yesterday.
“Oh, honestly,” said Nevile. “Stick your long studs on. What’s he got on his feet?
“He keeps slipping. He’s the only one that has fallen over. I don’t see the rest of them do it.”
In the end, Son wasn’t able to work his magic or link up like he has previously done so with Harry Kane.
In truth, for the Spurs fans, it won’t be a surprise because they go from winning one week to falling to a defeat the next.
But Antonio Conte and his players can’t argue because they did have their chances and they were at the throat of their opponents.
