Son Heung-Min and Mohamed Salah were born just over three weeks apart in the summer of 1992. Both are legends at their respective clubs. But while one of them describes this season as the best of his life, with Liverpool now overwhelming favorites to win the Premier League, the other has found his untouchable status at Tottenham Hotspur questioned for the first time in his career.
Father Time waits for no one, but perhaps he taps his watch face with a little more urgency for some. It can certainly seem that way for any 30-something footballer when they go through a difficult patch, just as Son has done within the wider malaise at Spurs.
