‘You should have seen’: Darren Bent says £22m Tottenham Hotspur man didn’t look happy after their fourth goal on Saturday

Darren Bent says Tottenham Hotspur winger Heung-Min Son did not look happy after his team’s fourth goal on Saturday.

Speaking on the Kelly and Wrighty show, Bent says he thinks Son now has his eye on winning another Golden Boot award after picking up the prize last season. 

Spurs thrashed Southampton 4-1 in their Premier League opener on Saturday but Harry Kane and Son didn’t hit the back of the net.

Instead, Dejan Kulusevski stole the show as he bagged Spurs’ fourth goal and set up Ryan Sessegnon for their first of the afternoon. 

But former Tottenham striker Darren Bent says Son did not look happy when the Swedish international opened his Premier League account for the season.

“I saw the last goal, when the last goal went in you should have seen Son’s face,” Bent said on the Kelly and Wrighty show. 

“Son has already got Golden Bootitus! I saw him come across and Kane was free, but he didn’t even look at him. Kane went ‘Sonny!’ I’m going to keep an eye on that.”

Bent says Son didn’t look happy

Bent was referencing a moment in the game when Son cut in from the left-hand side and opted to shoot instead of picking out the open Kane.

Kane did not look happy with his South Korean teammate but Son did set up Dier for Spurs’ second goal of the afternoon after a delightful cross.

The 30-year-old joined the North London side from Bayer Leverkusen back in 2015 for a fee worth up to £22m (BBC) and has been a key player for Spurs ever since. 

Last season, Son scored 23 goals as he shared the Golden Boot award with Liverpool’s Mohammed Salah. And Bent clearly thinks the Spurs man already has his eye on winning it once again.

The South Korea captain is definitely not a selfish player and has shown this during his time at Tottenham, especially with his connection with Kane. 

The best forwards always want to get on the scoresheet and Son is no different. The Spurs man has linked up brilliantly with Kane and Kulusevski under Conte and the Italian will be hoping the attacking trio can spearhead the team to achieve big things this season.
