Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says he would have wanted Son Heung-min to be the man to miss a big chance in the Premier League title race, after the Tottenham captain was denied by Stefan Ortega
Mikel Arteta has singled out Tottenham’s Son Heung-min as the player he would have chosen to convert the crucial chance that might have put Arsenal at the forefront of the Premier League title race.
As the Gunners approach the season’s final weekend with their title hopes hinging on West Ham’s performance against Pep Guardiola’s team, Arteta reflected on what might have been if Spurs’ captain Son hadn’t been thwarted by City’s sub keeper Stefan Ortega in the dying minutes of Tuesday’s match.
Arteta remarked, “If I had to pick a player in the Premier League for that moment then it would have been him,” drawing parallels with basketball legend Michael Jordan’s experiences with high-stakes shots.
