Tottenham Hotspur’s captain Son Heung-min celebrated a significant milestone, marking nine years with the club since his arrival in 2015.

However, his achievement quickly became a target for Arsenal fans, who took to social media to mock the South Korean star for his lack of trophies with Spurs.

Nine years of excellence but no Silverware

Son has been a standout player for Tottenham since his arrival from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015 for a then-record fee for an Asian footballer. Over the years, he has become one of the Premier League's most consistent performers, known for his speed, skill, and goal-scoring ability.

His impact on the pitch has been immense, making him a fan favorite and earning him the captaincy at the club.

Tottenham's official X (formerly Twitter) account celebrated Son’s nine-year milestone with a post that read, "Our captain then and now." The post highlighted his journey and his contributions to the team over the years. But the celebrations were short-lived as Arsenal fans saw an opportunity to troll their North London rivals.

Arsenal fans deliver brutal takedown

Despite Son's personal achievements and status as one of Tottenham’s all-time greats, Arsenal fans quickly pointed out the one glaring gap in his resume: a major trophy.

The mocking began almost immediately after Tottenham’s post, with Arsenal supporters flooding social media with comments about Son's lack of silverware during his time with the club.

One fan tweeted, "0 trophies since," while another chimed in with, "AAAANNNDDDD STILLLL ZEROOOOOOOO TROPHIESSS."

The trolls highlighted the fact that despite his individual brilliance, Son has yet to lift a major trophy with Tottenham, a fact that remains a sore point for both the player and the fans.

While Son continues to excel on the field, leading Spurs to numerous important victories and thrilling performances, the absence of a trophy remains a topic of discussion. The pressure is on Tottenham and their new manager, Ange Postecoglou, to finally deliver silverware and silence the critics.

Tottenham Hotspur will take on Everton in their first home match of the season on Saturday, August 24 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in North London.

The hosts come into the match looking to make amends of a rather lackluster performance in their first match of the season, when they were held to a 1-1 draw against Leicester City.

In their season opener, Everton were handed a 3-0 defeat at Goodison Park by Brighton and Hove Albion.

Tottenham vs. Everton lineups, team news

Postecoglou went viral on Monday evening for his hunched-over position in the 100th minute as his side drew to Leicester. His team, for the most part, played well but will be looking to build on last year's promising season.

With the arrival of Dominic Solanke, the team has an out-and-out striker that can cause a disrupted Everton backline problems.

It remains to be seen whether Yves Bissouma will be welcomed back to the squad after he was suspended for inhaling laughing gas and Rodrigo Bentancur's scenario remains unknown leaving Pape Sarr with few midfield partners.

Tottenham predicted (4-3-3, right to left): Vicario (GK) — Spence, Romero, Van de Ven, Udogie — Sarr, Bergvall, Maddison — Son, Solanke, Johnson.

Injured: Bentancur, Porro (doubt), Richarlison (doubt)

Suspended:

Dyche has his work cut out for him this year after losing Amadou Onana to Aston Villa and with Jarrad Branthwaite's future still up in the air, his starting squad appears disjointed.

Ashley Young was sent off in the opener vs. Brighton and is likely to be replaced in the lineup by Mason Holgate alongside James Tarkowski, Michael Keane and Vitalii Mykolenko.

Everton predicted (4-4-1-1, right to left): Pickford (GK) — Holgate, Tarkowski, Keane, Mykolenko — Harrison, Gueye, Iroegbunam, McNeil — Doucoure — Calvert-Lewin.

Injured: Patterson, Garner (doubt), Coleman (doubt), Branthwaite (doubt)

Suspended: Young

Tottenham vs. Everton prediction

Both teams are searching for their first wins for this season. Hosts Tottenham however, look the team more likely to walk away with three-points from the match on Sunday.
