Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-1 draw at West Ham United on Tuesday night kept them in the running for a top-four Premier League finish.
Spurs under Ange Postecoglou were attempting to win the league for the second time in a row after defeating Luton Town over the weekend by coming from behind.
Tottenham also got off to a strong start, with Brennan Johnson opening the score for the guests, continuing his remarkable run of success.
The 22-year-old, who earned a spot in the starting lineup, showed his manager how much he was appreciated by finishing Timo Werner’s low cross.
Kurt Zouma headed in an unmarked corner in the 19th minute to bring West Ham level, though, as they rallied admirably. For the remainder of the match, neither the Spurs nor the Hammers had any creativity, thus they shared the victory at the London Stadium.
What has Son Heung-min, the captain of Spurs, heard from Harry Kane?
Son Heung-min, the captain of Tottenham, achieved another milestone in the match as he made his 400th appearance for the team.
After the match, Son posted on Instagram to share his happiness at the accomplishment and to convey his regret over a result that Tottenham didn’t desire.
In the comments area, several of Son’s acquaintances and supporters wished him well. Spurs great Harry Kane wrote: “Congrats, brother!”
With all that he has provided Spurs over the years and his integration into the North London club, Son truly is Mr. Tottenham.
Let’s hope that something akin to a statue honouring him outside the stadium is in the works for the upcoming years, given his accomplishments at Tottenham.
Spurs will be keen to contend for a top-four finish in the interim. With 57 points from last night’s tie, they are still two points behind Aston Villa in fourth place.
On Sunday, Tottenham will play their next game in north London when they visit Nottingham Forest.
