Son has farewell from Tottenham, and James Maddison was seriously injured in the match with Newcastle
Son, who confirmed yesterday that he left Tottenham after 10 years spent at the club, was a holder in what could be his last match for London. The South Korean also wore the captain's banner. Antonin Kinsky started in the gate while Vicario stayed on the reserve bench. Eddie Howe started without a true central striker, in the absence of Alexander Isak, who continues to train individually, hoping for a transfer to Liverpool. Anthony Gordon played as an attacker at the beginning of the match.
Tottenham entered this match after a 1-0 victory in front of Arsenal, at Hong Kong, while the “Coțofenele” had lost all three friendly disputed.
Tottenham opened the scoring in the 4th minute, when Jacob Murphy stole Kevin Danso's ball in the opposing half, then found Brennan Johnson. The striker shot from the edge of the box, the ball was diverted by a defender and entered the gate of Nick Pope.
Newcastle had possession, but without creating clear opportunities. On the first real occasion, the “Coțofenele” equalized in the 38th minute. Eddie Howe's players passed in their own half, before Joelinton accelerated the game with a pass to Gordon, who focused on Barnes. He entered the box and shot at the short corner. The ball hit the bar and entered the gate, setting the score of 1-1.
The second half was balanced and without too many occasions. In the 66th minute, Son was replaced, and the players of both teams were corriding them at the exit of the field. The South Korean could not hide its emotions and tears.
The unpleasant moment of the match was the serious injury suffered by James Maddison, who had been in a short time before. In the 86th minute, it was removed from the ground, accusing great pain. The injury occurred without any contact with an opponent, the midfielder recently returning after another accident.
It seems that Maddison has suffered a serious injury. We are almost certain that it is the same knee that it was previously injured.
