Micky van de Ven reveals brilliant Son Heung-min prediction before first Tottenham goal vs Luton

Spurs defeated Luton Town 1-0 in the Premier League, with Micky van de Ven scoring the team’s first goal. The men of Ange Postecoglou shot out of the blocks at Kenilworth Road, and they were unlucky not to be ahead comfortably early on before the first half broke out in a flurry of turmoil.

Yves Bissouma knew going into the match that he would be banned for the first match following the international break if he received a yellow card against Fulham. But after losing control, the Mali international was compelled to pull down a Luton player. Things then got worse when, shortly before halftime, he received a second yellow card for simulation.Postecoglou’s team was then forced to play the whole second half with 10 men, and the visitors’ win was sealed by an unexpected striker. In the 52nd minute, James Maddison’s well-executed short corner saw him burst into the area and pull back, allowing van de Ven to score the goal.

The Hatters had many opportunities to tie the score, but they were unable to get past Guglielmo Vicario. Tottenham went ahead thanks to the victory, and on Sunday afternoon, Manchester City and Arsenal will square off.The Dutch international was chosen man of the match for his goal and clean sheet, which made sense. After the game, he talked about an intriguing conversation he had with Spurs captain Son Heung-min in an interview with TNT Sports.

 

“Incredible match, I think we showed a great mentality as a team and I am really happy to score my first goal in the Premier League and for Tottenham and the clean sheet is the best for defenders,” he stated. “I stood back, knowing that Maddison enjoys the cutback, and he played it perfectly to my left. I tapped it in, and it felt amazing.” “It was funny because when we were in the bus and coming to the stadium, Sonny told me ‘we’re going to make your first goal today’ and I said maybe who knows and I scored my first goal, so perfect.” Another win means Spurs sit on 19 points heading into the two-week break where they can only be taken off the top if either Manchester City or Arsenal win their hugely anticipated clash at Emirates Stadium.
