One notable incident occurred after the final whistle, when Son Heung-min, visibly frustrated, urged his teammates to acknowledge the traveling supporters. After an underwhelming performance, many players were seen walking off the pitch with their heads down, seemingly avoiding interaction with the fans. Son’s gestures encouraged some of his teammates to thank the fans for their continued support.

Son, who has faced a challenging season due to a hamstring injury, showed flashes of his quality as a second-half substitute against Bournemouth but couldn’t prevent the defeat. His season so far has been inconsistent, but he remains a pivotal figure for Tottenham.
