Tottenham Hotspur talisman Son Heung-min urged his teammates to raise their game after Sunday’s 4-3 loss to visitor Chelsea dropped the side to 11th in the Premier League and mounted more pressure on manager Ange Postecoglou.
Son scored in the stoppage-time for Tottenham but could not salvage a point for his side, which saw defenders Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven leave the pitch injured during the contest.
Tottenham has won only once in its last seven matches across competitions and Son said the team had to remain unified.
“We got to stick together in such difficult moments, it’s very important and it’s why we need big support,” he told Sky Sports.
“The players are very young and they need support more than we have had before. The fans were always supporting amazingly but I think it’s time the players also need to step up.”
Romero also reposed his faith in the Australian manager after the result. “We saw it in the first season. In this second one we’ve suffered a lot of injuries,” he told Telemundo.
“Players are the first one to be criticised, then if we lose 10 games, the staff can be changed, but nobody talks about what is actually happening. We are very happy with this staff, me and my colleagues. We love how they work and the football they try to play.”
