Tottenham captain Son Heung-min has slammed his team-mates for losing 3-0 at Fulham and told them to “look in the mirror”. Spurs squandered a huge opportunity to take control of fourth place in the Premier League and Son believes the defeat was “two steps backwards” after last weekend’s thumping of Aston Villa.

The north Londoners could have gone a point ahead of fourth-placed Villa and piled more pressure on the Villans after beating them 4-0 last weekend. But Ange Postecoglou’s side were woeful against Fulham and suffered a reverse that sent them crashing back down to earth.
Rodrigo Muniz struck a brace and Sasa Lukic bagged his first Fulham goal to condemn Spurs to a comfortable defeat. Afterwards, Son let rip at his colleagues, sensationally calling into question their effort and attitude.
The Spurs forward told Sky Sports: “It is very disappointing and very frustrating. Everybody has to look in the mirror and say, ‘it is my fault’.
“It was not good enough. We didn’t put in the effort we have put in this season. The performance, the attitude was not good enough. Everyone needs a big wake-up call.

“In the Premier League if you are not ready you get punished. Aston Villa are an amazing team, but so are Fulham. If you are not giving 100 per cent you get punished. You don’t get three points for free.
“This is two steps backwards. We now need to step forward. It is unacceptable, including me, it was unacceptable. We are representing Premier League teams, we are representing Tottenham.
“This was not close to what we have been doing this season. It is very sad to watch this. The fans don’t deserve this.
“They are coming here with positive energy and good vibes. Losing this was is very tough. The players are very down.”

Meanwhile, Postecoglou responded sarcastically to a question about his side’s chances of qualifying for the Champions League. At the moment, the Premier League’s top four will enter the elite European tournament, although there is a chance that England will be granted an extra spot in next season’s expanded competition due to their coefficient ranking.
“It’s all over so we’ll just go for sixth. What am I meant to say to that?” the Australian snapped at a question over his side’s ability to finish in the top four.
“We’re two points behind Villa. It’s 10 games to go, there’s so much football to play. I don’t worry about that stuff. It’s not about just falling into a place in the ladder. We could finish fourth, great, it’s nothing this football club haven’t done. It’s about how we play.”
