Son emphasized the need for introspection, stating that every player must take responsibility for the lackluster display. He acknowledged that the team failed to match the effort and attitude they had shown throughout the season, describing the defeat as a 'big wake-up call.'
The South Korean forward highlighted the competitive nature of the Premier League, emphasizing that any lapse in commitment can result in being punished by opponents. He lamented the contrast between the team's impressive 4-0 victory over Aston Villa and the subpar performance against Fulham.
