At a home game against Arsenal in the 35th round of the 2023-2024 English Premier League held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London at 10 p.m. on the 28th (Korea time), Tottenham Hotspur allowed three runs in the 38th minute of the first half, ultimately losing 2-3 despite Son’s penalty score. Tottenham’s Son Heung-min played full-time and scored his 16th goal in the league by scoring a penalty kick.

Tottenham allowed three goals in the first half alone due to Pierre-Emile Hoibierre’s own goal in the 15th minute, Bukayo Saka’s goal in the 27th minute of the first half, and Kai Havertz’s header in the 38th minute of the first half. Taking advantage of the opponent’s GK mistake in the 19th minute of the second half, Son Heung-min scored two goals in the 42nd minute of the second half of Christian Romero’s pursuit goal and Ben Davies’ penalty, but Tottenham could not change the outcome of the defeat.

With the defeat, Tottenham remained at 60 points and was fixed in fifth place.

Aston Villa will play 35 games and 67 points in the EPL until the 29th, while Tottenham will play 33 games and have 60 points. Arithmetically, even if Tottenham wins all 35 games, it is only 66 points, and if Villa win all the remaining games, it is impossible for Tottenham to come from behind to fourth place.

Tottenham does not have a good schedule. For now, Tottenham has to play five games in the remaining 22 days before the end of the season on May 20. Villa only need three games. It is natural that the tighter the schedule, the more likely the team will suffer physical exhaustion and injury.

In addition, Tottenham faces three of the big six teams until away games against Chelsea on May 3, Liverpool on May 6, and Manchester City on May 15. On the other hand, Aston Villa have only away games against bottom-ranked Brighton Albion and Crystal Palace, with the exception of home games against Liverpool.

In other words, Tottenham has more teams to play against, but it has to play against stronger opponents for a short period of time. And even if they win everything, if Villa win everything, there is no reversal. In every way, Tottenham is at a disadvantage.

Of course, miracles can happen. However, in reality, it is not easy to reach the fourth place. The aftermath of the 0-4 defeat at Newcastle and the 2-3 defeat at Arsenal is too big. Will Tottenham Hotspur, which had only rushed for fourth place, fall apart at the end? Or will they be able to achieve a huge upset? It is the final competition for fourth place between Tottenham, which has to run with only a small chance, and Aston Villa, which has to play well one game a week.
