Micah Richards expressed his disappointment with Heung-min Son’s performance after Tottenham Hotspur’s defeat to Fulham, jokingly stating that Son “completely let him down” in Fantasy Premier League.
After Spurs’ impressive win over Aston Villa, where Son played a key role, expectations were high for another strong showing. However, Fulham stunned Tottenham with a 3-0 victory, leaving fans and fantasy football managers alike disappointed.
Richards shared his frustration on The Rest Is Football, highlighting Son as his captain choice for the weekend. He humorously remarked, “Son captain. Absolutely, he let me down. That spoilt my day that did!”
The defeat to Fulham was particularly painful for Tottenham, considering their recent form and the opportunity to climb into the top four. Despite their progress under Ange Postecoglou, this loss served as a stark reminder of the team’s inconsistency and ongoing development.
The result also came after Spurs’ impressive 4-0 victory over Aston Villa, where Son had excelled with a goal and two assists. However, the loss to Fulham highlighted the unpredictable nature of football, leaving fantasy football managers like Richards disappointed with their selections.
The defeat will undoubtedly be a bitter pill to swallow for Son and his teammates, especially considering the momentum they had built in recent weeks. With the international break providing time for reflection, Tottenham will aim to regroup and bounce back stronger in their upcoming fixtures.
As Spurs contemplate their next steps, they will need to address the issues that led to their defeat against Fulham and ensure they maintain consistency in their performances.
While setbacks are inevitable in football, how teams respond to adversity often defines their season. Son and Tottenham will be eager to put this disappointing result behind them and focus on returning to winning ways in the Premier League.
