Heung-min Son revealed Tottenham’s fightback against Manchester United was driven by ‘anger’ after the 6-1 defeat to Newcastle.
Tottenham forward Heung-Min Son claims their comeback against Manchester United was fueled by anger.
Son scored the second goal to put the London club on level against the Red Devils.
Son said: “We couldn’t let the game go. We were really angry about it, we didn’t deserve to be 2-0 down at half-time.
“The last week was unacceptable and we didn’t want to repeat that. We feel really, really sorry for the performance and result and today we wanted to bring a good energy.
“We really appreciated [the fans’] support and they were fighting with us.”
Interim Spurs boss Ryan Mason was proud of the fight shown by his players in the second-half.
“It’s been difficult after Sunday because the manner in which we lost wasn’t nice for anyone to be involved with,” said Mason. “But the most important thing now until the end of the season will always be to stick together as a team.
“Football – small details can change games, change results but ultimately the most important thing is to be together. And to everyone – the fans, the outside world looking in, they’ll see a team that’s solid and united together. And when you are that you have a chance of success.
“(We have) big character, big personalities, stuck together, kept believing and acted as a team throughout the whole game. That pleases me after what happened at the weekend because we probably didn’t have that as a group.
“And off the back of how the first half went in terms of the scoreline, to go out at half-time and stick together, fight for each other and really got our fans involved, I thought they helped us massively, and it’s pleasing.
“It proves a lot to me what I already thought about this group but to see that on to the pitch is a good feeling.”
