‘Turns away in disgust’… Heung-min Son was furious with £25m Tottenham player today

Heung-min Son was absolutely furious with his Tottenham Hotspur teammate Dejan Kulusevski at Villa Park today.

Tottenham proved to be too good for Aston Villa on Sunday as goals from James Maddison, Brennan Johnson, Heung-min Son and Timo Werner handed them a comfortable 4-0 win.

Ange Postecoglou’s men dominated the ball during the first half but failed to break down a resilient Villa backline.

But Spurs netted a quickfire double at the start of the second half which ultimately put the game out of reach for Villa.

The north Londoners searched for more after John McGinn was sent off for a reckless tackle on Destiny Udogie.

And Heung-min Son was far from pleased after Dejan Kulusevski failed to pick him out in the second half.

Son furious with Kulusevski

Son picked out Rodrigo Bentancur with a brilliant pass and it set Spurs away on a dangerous attack. 

The Uruguayan found Kulusevski on the right-hand side and the Swede opted to shoot, rather than pass to Son.

And Don Goodman noticed that Son was far from impressed with his £25 million teammate’s decision. 

“Turns away in disgust doesn’t he? It’s a brilliant ball from Son to set Bentancur away and he holds his width there and he’s expecting that ball to be passed to him. When it doesn’t happen, not best pleased,” the commentator said on Sky Sports.

Son was visibly frustrated after Kulusevski blazed his shot over the bar and was spotted slamming his hands against the ground.

Nevertheless, it was an excellent display on the road from Spurs and Son eventually got his goal.

We’re sure the South Korean will have forgiven Kulusevski for his earlier choice too as the Swede set him up for his goal.

The win means Spurs are just two points behind fourth-placed Villa, with a game in hand.
