Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-min Son was left furious with Dejan Kulsevski in the game against Aston Villa.
There was very little for the Lilywhites to complain about on Sunday following their trip to Villa Park.
But it seems Heung-min Son was left annoyed with something Dejan Kulusevski did during the game.
Heung-min Son frustrated by Kulusevski
Ange Postecoglou’s men won in style on the weekend, but it is apparent the players have now come to demand a lot from eachother.
There was an awful lot resting on the game for Spurs on Sunday with a defeat taking them eight points behind the top four.
However, Spurs were able to deal with the pressure, although there may have been some cracks in the patience of some players during the 90 minutes.
Speaking on the Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham podcast, journalist Rob Guest claimed Kulusevski really frustrated Son in one particular moment. He said: “There was another opportunity where [Kulusevski] I think he had Johnson and Son either side of him, but went for the shot himself. It went over and Son wasn’t impressed at all. That was a bit of an angry reaction from him.”
Kulusevski stats for Tottenham
It has been a solid season for the Swede under Postecoglou having returned six goals and three assists in the league.
By no means has the 23-year-old been anything spectacular, but he has been a big part of the Australian’s plans.
Although he has made 24 starts in the Premier League already, he is now being pushed for his spot on the wing.
The arrival of Timo Werner in January has seen another winger begin to find form with Brennan Johnson also providing competition for the starting spots out wide.
Ironically, Kulusevski did provide Son with an assist before the end of the game, but perhaps he needs to start showing a bit more consistency.
In his last eight league games, he has only provided one goal and one assist. In comparison, Johnson has provided three goals and three assists in the same time.
Postecoglou has healthy competition, but he also has a big decision to make over whether Kulusevski should be benched for the game against Fulham.
