Son's miss shows Premier League title will be won by inches

LONDON -- Premier League titles are won over a season, but there is always a decisive moment that points towards success or failure and, for a split second, Tottenham's Son Heung-Min had the destiny of Arsenal and Manchester City at his feet.

As he raced towards the Manchester City goal in the 86th minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Son would either nudge Arsenal towards their first championship in 20 years or inch City closer to their fourth successive title.

But the fact that City now face West Ham United at the Etihad Stadium on Sunday knowing that a win will ensure they become the first team in English football history to seal four titles in a row is down in a huge part to Son missing a golden chance to cancel out Erling Haaland's opening goal and equalise for Ange Postecoglou's Spurs.
