Son Heung-min’s missed chance drew particular ire from Arsenal fans, who believed it could have altered the match’s outcome. The South Korean forward squandered a significant opportunity to equalize the score before Erling Haaland secured City’s second goal.

In the 86th minute of the match, with Manchester City holding a one-goal lead, Son found himself clean through on goal. However, his shot failed to find the back of the net, much to the disappointment of Arsenal supporters.

Former footballer Daniel Sturridge, now working as a pundit for Sky Sports, analyzed Son’s missed opportunity. Sturridge noted Son’s body language and the goalkeeper’s positioning, suggesting that the shot was predictable and easily defended.
