Son Heung-min was right to be angry with Antonio Conte’s decision to substitute him for Richarlison in Tottenham ’s win over Nottingham Forest, according to Alan Shearer.
Son was brought off in the 74th minute of the 2-0 win at the City Ground on Sunday when the game was still in the balance at 1-0. The South Korean is yet to find the back of the net in four Premier League matches this season and looked visibly frustrated with Conte’s call to replace him.
While much of the post-match focus has been on his controversial kick-ups, Richarlison made a difference by providing the assist for Harry Kane’s second goal. Son is facing pressure for his place in the starting XI ahead of their trip to West Ham on Wednesday evening.
