Son says he ‘let my team-mates down’ in SK WC qualifying draw

AFP, Goyang :

Son Heung-min said he “let my team-mates down” after South Korea (SK) stumbled in World Cup (WC) qualifying with a 1-1 home draw against Oman.

The Tottenham striker failed to get on the scoresheet on Thursday as the Koreans fluffed a chance to take a big step towards next summer’s tournament in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Coach Hong Myung-bo branded the draw “our worst performance” in the third Asian qualifying round, having conceded the equaliser with 10 minutes left.
