Tottenham Hotspur, with Son Heung-min in the lead, could not open the goal even after throwing more than three times that of Watford.
In the 22nd minute of the second half, Heung-Min Son's sensual heel kick slightly missed the goal, and a volley that seemed perfect 5 minutes later was blocked by the opposing goalkeeper's incredible save.
The match that seemed to end without a goal was dramatically divided in the second half of extra time.
Heung-Min Son led a foul with a daring breakthrough and created the last chance for a free kick.
And as a direct kicker, a cross that exquisitely crossed the defensive wall was delivered exactly to Sanchez's forehead, and a 'theatre goal' broke out.
Heung-Min Son, who led Tottenham's 8-match unbeaten streak with the help of League 3, was praised by the local media with the highest ratings.
[Michael Owen / Former England national team: How do you stop that cross? I don't know if I can stop it. It was really low and strong. It was great.]
Teammate Ben Davis remembered Heung-Min Son, who scored a 'theatre goal' in Watford's goal six years ago.
[Ben Davis / Tottenham defender: (I think it must have been similar to Son Heung-min's theater goal six years ago.) That's right.
Theater goals are always special.
Heung-Min Son's cross today was amazing.]
Heung-Min Son, who opened the door to 2022 with
great
strength, promised his fans his New Year's greetings through social media.
