The Premier Leagueâs showpiece match has so far lived up to its promise. After just ten minutes, the score was 1-1 between Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspurs. For a Spurs star, this is probably a game he wonât soon forget.
In a quick match, the London guests countered in an exemplary manner and took the lead thanks to Heung-Min Son (6th). But the South Koreanâs joy only lasted three minutes. Because then the scorer scored a second time â but from the wrong side.

After a free kick, the ball crossed the Tottenham penalty area and finally hit Sonâs shin in his own goal. According to the data portal âOptaâ, he is only the second player in the history of the Premier League to score a goal and an own goal in the first ten minutes. Bitter for the 31-year-old, who then had to watch his Spurs fall behind twice despite Lo Celsoâs goal from Foden and Grealish.
For now, this still appears to be a happy outcome for north Londoners. Shortly before the end, Dejan Kulusevski equalized to make the score 3-3.
