Opposite fortunes for Hwang, Son as Wolves claw way to 2-2 draw with Spurs Published: 30 Dec. 2024, 13:45 PAIK JI-HWAN [email protected] Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Hwang Hee-chan shoots during a Premier League match against Tottenham Hotspur at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London on Dec. 29. [AFP/YONHAP] Wolverhampton Wanderers held Tottenham Hotspur to a 2-2 draw on Sunday, with Hwang Hee-chan’s opening goal followed up with a late effort from Jorgen Strand Larsen — and Spurs captain Son Heung-min missing a penalty.

Meet the fiery strategist charged with igniting Wolves’ season. In the Korean derby at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, where both Hwang and Son started, Hwang struck the ball with a curling shot from a well-worked free-kick in the seventh minute, scoring his second straight goal for Wolves this season for the first time. Rodrigo Bentancur leveled for Spurs five minutes later, however, heading home from a corner. Spurs found the opportunity to add one more in the 43rd minute after Brennan Johnson was fouled inside Wolves' penalty box, but Son blew it by missing the penalty.

Wolves extended their unbeaten streak with Sunday’s result, having secured two wins and one draw since new manager Vitor Pereira took the helm earlier this month. The club’s recent run contrasts with their start to the 2024-25 season, during which they struggled and hit the relegation zone. Wolves now sit at 17th place on the 20-team league table as of press time Monday. “This [Tottenham side] is a team who are very intensive, because they press a lot,” Pereira said after the match. “In the first half, we had some problems to control the pressure, but we competed. Then in the second half, I think they dropped the block a little bit and we started to play a bit with the ball and started to create some problems. In the end, one point is not bad.

[AFP/YONHAP] “Every time we have a lot of things to improve. I believe that when we will have time to work on the pitch, it is possible to have more possession and to control the game with the ball — I think this is something that we will increase with the level.” For Hwang, Sunday’s goal brought his goal contributions this season to two after his long scoring drought ended in a match against Manchester United on Dec. 26. The Korean forward saw a poor start to the campaign before his first goal as he was stuck on the right flank, where he was able to contribute to attacks merely with crosses rather than cutting inside from the left edge onto his preferred right foot or converting crosses in the penalty box as a No. 9. Sunday’s goal was proof of how he fits in the squad — in a role where he can demonstrate cohesion and good positioning skills with which he can finish the job himself. He has the second half of the season to bring back his old form that allowed him to finish last season as the team’s top scorer at 12 goals in the league. Son, meanwhile, would have scored his eighth goal of the season had he not missed the penalty. The Spurs captain has still seen a solid goal contribution run with seven goals and six assists across 22 appearances. Tottenham failed to jump up the table after Sunday’s draw, sitting in 11th place with one more game played than No. 12 Brentford as of Monday. “It's a disappointing outcome,” Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou said. “Obviously we went a goal down, but after that I felt we controlled the game. It wasn't easy always to get openings but we did look pretty threatening every time we did get forward. We scored a couple of goals, we obviously missed the penalty and then second half, I just thought we had some really big moments to kill the game off.” Sunday’s draw comes in the middle of Tottenham’s busy schedule that includes not just Premier League action but also the club’s participation in the Carabao Cup, FA Cup and Europa League. Spurs have to face Premier League league leaders Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semifinals and face fifth-tier Tamworth in the third round of the FA Cup, before playing two more Europa League league stage games. Tottenham next face Newcastle United on Saturday, while Wolves return to league action against Nottingham Forest on Jan. 6.

Taliban has tightened restrictions in Afghanistan and banned the construction of windows in residential buildings that overlook areas used by Afghan women. It has also said that the existing windows should be blocked, reported AFP. Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or while collecting water can “lead to obscene acts”, government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said on social media platform X. "Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts," according to the decree posted by government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid on social media platform X. Municipal authorities asked to monitor construction sites To impose the ban on windows in specified areas, municipal authorities and other relevant areas have been asked to monitor construction sites. Officials have also been asked take relevant action in residential areas where such windows with clear sight to women working areas exist. In such cases, they would encourage owners to build a wall or obstruct the view "to avoid nuisances caused to neighbours", the decree states. Taliban's regressive policies towards women Taliban took over Afghanistan in August 2021, since then its has replaced all the progressive policies of the government towards women. The move has prompted the United Nations to denounce the "gender apartheid" it has established. In Afghanistan, the Taliban has banned post-primary education for girls and women. Females are not even allowed to take jobs and visit parks and other public places. Taliban law to ban women from singing in public In another move to erase women's presence in public, Taliban has introduced a law to prevent women from singing or reciting poetry in public under the Taliban government's ultra-strict application of Islamic law. It also encourages them to "veil" their voices and bodies outside the home. Some local radio and television stations have also stopped broadcasting female voices.Share Tweet Share Share Email The undeniable truth is that any equipment that uses bearings has a rough time in Australian conditions. With scorching heat, relentless dust, and salty coastal air, bearings in Australia take a pounding like nowhere else on Earth. Keeping these critical components running smoothly is not just a matter of installing them and walking away, but more about coming up with smart strategies and proactive care tailored to Australia’s unique environment. Dealing with Facing Environmental Factors Ask anyone in the field, and they’ll tell you straight, our climate is no friend to bearings. Inland areas, in particular, endure temperature swings that go from freezing at dawn to over 40°C by midday. These extreme shifts wreak havoc on lubricants and put tremendous strain on bearing materials. Heavy-duty vehicles feel this impact keenly, with wheel bearings and suspension components taking a constant beating from both the temperature variations and the rugged terrain they traverse. And then there’s the dust. That infamous red haze seems to find its way into every nook and cranny, including bearing assemblies. Coastal locations do not fare much better, with salt spray accelerating corrosion at an alarming rate. Up north, sticky humidity brings its own challenges, turning basic maintenance into a battle against rust and grime. It is like Australia’s out to test every bearing to its limits. Smart Maintenance Practices While you cannot control the environment, you can outsmart it. Regular maintenance is a must, think of it as an early warning system. Odd noises, unusual vibrations, or even subtle changes in performance can signal trouble brewing. During peak summer or dust storm seasons, stepping up these inspections is essential. Lubrication, too, is a game-changer. Generic grease might work fine in milder climates, but here, you need products that can stand up to extreme heat and still perform under pressure. Smart operators do not just follow a handbook, they adapt lubrication schedules to the real-world conditions their equipment faces. Meticulous records help fine-tune this process, ensuring no detail slips through the cracks. Choosing the Right Bearings Cutting corners on bearing quality? That’s a big mistake. While high-quality bearings may cost more upfront, they’re built to endure the punishment dished out by harsh conditions. Premium options often use advanced steel, corrosion-resistant coatings, and precision engineering to keep systems running smoothly. When selecting bearings, think about the worst-case scenarios. Look for load ratings that account for thermal expansion and consider sealed units for dusty environments. However, keep in mind that sealed bearings still need ventilation to prevent overheating, especially in those scorching summer months. Protecting and Extending Bearing Life The key to longer-lasting bearings is keeping out the bad and locking in the good. Modern sealing systems are your first line of defence against dust, dirt, and moisture. Combine that with condition monitoring tools, and you have got an early-detection system that lets you tackle issues before they spiral into costly failures. Tailoring your maintenance to the environment is equally important. For example, during the wet season in the tropics, bearings may need more frequent attention to combat humidity. Out west, when dust storms roll in, you might need extra inspections to clear debris and ensure everything’s running clean. Final Thoughts Invest in high-quality bearings, stick to a solid maintenance plan, and adapt to the quirks of your environment. These simple but effective steps will reward you with more reliable equipment and lower maintenance costs. In the end, it’s not just about extending the life of your bearings. It’s about keeping your operation running smoothly, even when Mother Nature throws everything it’s got at your bearings. By staying ahead of the game, you’ll protect your equipment, and your bottom line, from avoidable headaches. So whether you’re battling dust in the outback or fighting off rust by the sea, remember this, a little extra effort today can save you a lot of trouble tomorrow.
