Son Heung-min shows his disbelief after being denied a BLATANT penalty in South Korea’s friendly win over Saudi Arabia in a near-empty St James’ Park
On Tuesday, Son Heung-min was not given a clear penalty against Saudi Arabia.
In the friendly game at St. James’ Park, the Tottenham captain appeared to have been fouled.
Son was shocked that Andy Madley did not give him a penalty.
Son Heung-min, the captain of Tottenham, was incensed when a clear penalty in South Korea’s friendly match against Saudi Arabia on Tuesday night went uncalled.
During the international break, Son hasn’t played in any competitive games, but he has played for South Korea in two friendly against Wales and Saudi Arabia.
Son traveled to Newcastle’s St. James’ Park on Tuesday with other members of the national squad, staying in England the entire time.
Cho Gue-sung’s goal in the first half, which ultimately proved to be the difference in the game’s outcome of 1-0 for South Korea, left Son feeling vindicated despite being wrongfully refused a penalty.
The star of the Spurs was about to take a shot that was headed towards the net when he was dispossessed inside the box by a rival defender.
