Tottenham forward Son Heung-Min has expressed disappointment after his team’s 2-1 defeat to West Ham, labeling their performance as “soft.” Despite taking an early lead, Spurs failed to maintain their dominance, leading to a historic Premier League milestone of dropping points from a winning position in five straight games.

Speaking after the match, Son said, “We lost the game which is unacceptable,” and emphasized the players’ responsibility for the outcome. Manager Ange Postecoglou also stressed the need for his team to grind out results and prioritize winning over playing an entertaining style of football.
