Tottenham captain Heung-min Son suffers head injury in Europa League trophy mishap: ‘Somebody pushed me!'
The Spurs captain suffered a nasty-looking gash above his right eye as Spurs celebrated beating Manchester United to end their 17-year-old trophy drought.
'Look at this!' said Son, holding his hair to show the damage in a video posted by Spurs on social media.
Son then explained how the trophy grazed his forehead during the celebrations.
'I lift [the trophy]; somebody pushed me, and I [hit my] head with the trophy!'
The red mark did not seem to bother Son too much and, still smiling, he then went over to Spurs fans to continue the celebrations on the pitch.

The caption on the post from Spurs read: 'Worth it.'
Son said after the game that he can now be called a 'legend' after he achieved his dream of lifting silverware at Spurs, who beat Manchester United 1-0 thanks to a goal from Brennan Johnson and a miraculous late goalline clearance from Micky van de Ven.
The South Korean has previously said he could be considered among the club's greatest players due to his lack of silverware.
But Son told TNT Sports: 'Let's say I'm a legend. Why not?
'Only today! 17 years nobody has done it, so today let's say with amazing players probably a legend of the club.
'This is what I've always dreamed for. Today is the day it happened. I am the happiest man in the world.'

Tottenham Hotspur Have Held Talks For This Manchester City Attacker: Good Choice For Spurs?
In a recent interview with TBR Football, journalist Graeme Bailey claimed that Tottenham Hotspur have held talks for Manchester City attacker James McAtee. Bailey said, 'They have held talks with other players in recent weeks, the likes of Xavi Simons and James McAtee to name but two, there are options for them and they will move on, and they need to,' McAtee's Impressive Rise In English Football McAtee served as a decent squad player at the Mancunian club after he put in a run of eye-catching displays for them in the final third. The 22-year-old found the back of the net seven times in 27 appearances for Man City last season across all fronts. The English playmaker deserves a lot of credit for averaging 3.09 shots per 90 minutes in the Premier League. He kept 33.3% of his attempts on target. McAtee was even tidy when distributing possession in the opponent's half, as evidenced by his pass completion rate of 80% in the top tier of English football (stats via BRATISLAVA, SLOVAKIA – JUNE 28: James Mcatee of England controls the ball during the UEFA European Under-21 Championship 2025 Final match between England and Germany at National Football stadium on June 28, 2025 in Bratislava, Slovakia. (Photo by) Is McAtee A Good Choice For Tottenham Hotspur Boss Thomas Frank? McAtee can shoot the ball with power from long range and has got the eye to play some decisive passes in the final third. He is a good runner with the ball at his feet and can chip in by scoring a few important goals for his team. However, the English sensation has to find a way to add some assists to his game if he wants to play regularly in top-flight football. McAtee is far from a finished product but has got the potential to be a future star in English football. He is primarily an attacking midfielder but can also fill in as a box-to-box midfielder or as a right-winger if told to do so. We can expect McAtee to add more firepower to Tottenham head coach Thomas Frank's frontline. He is good enough to challenge for a regular first-team football at the North London club next season. At 22, the future looks quite promising for McAtee as long as he continues to improve with each year. He has what it takes to be a success story at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the long run. Hence, McAtee would be a good choice for Spurs to consider in this transfer period.

Seven players Chelsea can still sell following Joao Felix transfer
Chelsea are, once again, looking to sell several first-team players in the summer transfer window to trim the fat on their bloated squad. Joao Felix is the latest to leave Stamford Bridge, joining Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr for an initial £26.2m (€30m) fee and £17.5m (€20m) in potential add-ons. The Blues spend a lot of silly money on new signings, but they have also become adept at shifting unwanted players in recent years. This summer they have managed to raise £135.7m from sales, with their net spend coming to £82.3m. Still, Chelsea have 44 players in their senior squad and can only register 25 for the Premier League next season (although under-21 footballers are not included on the squad lists). Nine players have already departed, but it's clear that even more need to leave before the 2025/26 campaign kicks off. Here are some of the men on the fringe who have been linked with a move away this summer. Six players Chelsea can still sell following Joao Felix transfer Christopher Nkunku One of the more disappointing Chelsea signings in recent years, Christopher Nkunku's time at the club has been hampered by injury issues and poor form. The France international does not lack for suitors, though, with both Bayern Munich and Manchester United linked with a move since January. Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United are also said to be interested, with the west London prepared to sell him for a little over £43m. Nicolas Jackson A lack of a clinical edge could cost Nicolas Jackson his Chelsea career. The Senegal striker has shown glimpses of being a top player, but has too often fluffed his lines in front of goal. The 24-year-old would make a good signing for a Premier League club, though, with both Manchester United and Newcastle linked with a move, although the Red Devils have apparently moved onto other targets. Read – Raheem Sterling We've rarely seen a fall from grace as steep as Raheem Sterling's. A few short years ago he was considered one of the Premier League's elite attackers at Manchester City, but now he's a shell of his former self at just 30 years of age. An underwhelming loan spell at Arsenal last season will not have inspired many clubs to take a punt on his this year, although Fulham are reportedly interested in the winger. Read – Ben Chilwell The ostracisation of Ben Chilwell is an odd one, as he has always played quite well for Chelsea. Regardless, the left-back found himself surplus to requirements under Enzo Maresca and spent the second half of last season on loan with Borussia Dortmund. After failing to get a move away last summer amid links with Manchester United, he made one appearance in the League Cup before joining Crystal Palace on a half-season long loan, helping the club win the FA Cup in May. A return to Selhurst Park seems unlikely after the Eagles bought Borna Sosa from Ajax, so who know where he will end up. Read – Carney Chukwuemeka Three years after Chelsea signed him from Aston Villa, Carney Chukwuemeka looks set to depart. Once considered a hot prospect, we have seen very little from the attacking midfielder at Stamford Bridge. He made just five appearances, none in the Premier League, last season before joining Borussia Dortmund on a half-season long loan RB Leipzig are reportedly in talks about a potential deal, with Xavi Simons possibly going in the other direction. Read – Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall When Chelsea bought Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester City last summer, it was clearly a new manager signing. And yet, Maresca barely used the midfielder in his debut campaign. It still feels very odd that Conor Gallagher was replaced with Dewsbury-Hall and would not be the least bit surprising if the 26-year-old leaves. Fulham have been linked with a possible move. Renato Veiga Despite barely playing for Chelsea since joining from Basel for £12m last year, Renato Veiga could fetch the club a tidy profit. The striker made 18 appearances in all competitions, most of them in cup competitions, before being loaned out to Juventus in January. Now Atletico Madrid are reportedly in for him, with the Blues slapping a £34.6m price tag on the Portuguese player. Read – See Also – Follow The Football Faithful on Social Media: | | | |
