Son Heung-min Scores Stunning Late Winner to Lift Tottenham over BrightonSon Heung-min Scores Stunning Late Winner to Lift Tottenham over Brighton Tottenham Hotspur pulled off a dramatic 1-0 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday, thanks to a breathtaking stoppage-time winner from Son Heung-min. The game looked destined to end in a frustrating stalemate for Antonio Conte’s side, who had dominated possession but struggled to break down a resolute Brighton defense. However, in the dying seconds of the match, Tottenham launched one final attack. Substitute Dejan Kulusevski played a searching pass to Son, who had been a constant threat throughout the game. Son took a touch to control the ball and then unleashed a spectacular left-footed shot from just outside the area. The ball flew into the top corner, leaving Brighton goalkeeper Robert Sánchez with no chance. The goal sent the Tottenham faithful into raptures and sparked wild celebrations on the pitch. It was Son’s 13th goal of the season in all competitions, and it proved to be the winning margin in a crucial victory for Spurs. The win lifted Tottenham into seventh place in the Premier League table, just two points behind Manchester United in fourth. It also kept Conte’s side in contention for a top-four finish and a place in next season’s Champions League. Son’s goal was a fitting end to a match in which he had been Tottenham’s most dangerous player. The South Korean forward created several chances and was unfortunate not to score earlier in the game. Brighton, who had been well-organized and disciplined throughout, were left to rue their missed opportunities. Leandro Trossard had a great chance to equalize in the second half, but his shot was well saved by Hugo Lloris. Ultimately, it was Tottenham who took all three points and extended their unbeaten run to four games in all competitions. Son Heung-min’s stunning late winner will live long in the memory of Tottenham fans and will go a long way towards helping the club achieve their goals this season.
