"Can this really go in??"
"It feels like Tottenham's players are mentally collapsing!"
"Lloris made a huge mistake!"
"This is really bad. Tottenham's morale is completely shattered now!"
The game continued.
On the Tottenham bench, coach Pochettino wore a look of helplessness as he paced back and forth on the sidelines.
To be honest—
This was the last thing Pochettino wanted to see.
But at this point, he had no choice.
After the restart—
Tottenham Hotspur's mentality had clearly undergone a drastic shift.
They were no longer sitting back in defense.
Now, the score was 3-0!
In other words—
Even if Tottenham continued defending, it wouldn't change the fact that they were losing.
Since they were already on the brink—
Their only option was to go all out on the attack.
In the last 10 minutes of the first half, Tottenham Hotspur launched a frantic offensive.
It had to be said—
Tottenham's attack was still incredibly dangerous.
On the wing—
After Son Heung-min received the ball—
As always, he immediately showcased his blazing speed.
In the blink of an eye—
Son Heung-min burst forward, pushing the ball close to the byline.
At that moment, Christensen stepped up to defend him.
Chelsea's center-back had impressive pace—
But it was nowhere near as fast as Son Heung-min.
With a sudden burst of acceleration—
Son Heung-min blew past Christensen!
The next second—
He cut inside from the flank and charged into Chelsea's penalty area.
At the same time, Gary Cahill, Chelsea's other center-back, rushed in to block him.
But at that moment—
Son Heung-min didn't choose to dribble past Cahill or take a shot himself.
Instead—
He noticed his teammate, Tottenham's star striker, Harry Kane, was in an excellent position!
As Tottenham's main target man and the team's biggest star—
Harry Kane had outstanding finishing ability.
And this time—
Chelsea's defense had made a huge mistake.
There wasn't a single Chelsea defender marking Harry Kane!
Perhaps—
Because Chelsea was already leading 3-0, their players had mentally checked out.
Deep down, they might have felt that the game was already decided.
So—
They let their guard down.
And at that critical moment—
Son Heung-min's run had completely disrupted Chelsea's defensive shape.
Faced with such a golden opportunity—
Son Heung-min immediately passed the ball to Harry Kane.
Right at the penalty spot—
After receiving the ball—
Harry Kane took a quick glance at the positioning of the defenders.
He noticed that Courtois was positioned slightly to the right.
So—
Harry Kane fired his shot towards the left side of the goal.
It was the perfect decision.
In an instant—
The ball soared towards the net.
Courtois reacted—
But he was just a fraction too slow.
There was nothing he could do.
He could only watch helplessly as the ball flew into his goal.
At that moment—
Courtois felt the same frustration that Lloris had felt earlier.
Completely helpless.
Through their relentless efforts—
Tottenham Hotspur had finally pulled a goal back.
