Son Heung-min (32, Tottenham) was defeated by the 'Best 11' full of prejudice. Even the intentionality is suspected.

Son Heung-min was excluded from the list of the British public broadcaster BBC's 「EPL Week Best 11」 released on the 17th (Korea time). This is an incomprehensible result considering that the list will be based on the results of the 16th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season.

Above all, it is even more bizarre that as many as three people were selected except Son Heung-min at Tottenham. Pape Sarr, Jed Spence and Archie Gray made the best 11 list. However, Son Heung-min clearly showed superiority in terms of records and impact. Therefore, it can be said that the BBC's 'Weekly Best 11' has lost a lot of credibility.




Troy Deeney, 36, is making the list. Born in Birmingham, England, he played for Watford FC and Birmingham City during his active career. Watford's flagship striker has played for 11 years (2010-2021) and led him to the promotion to the EPL as second place in the 2014-2015 season championship. The EPL career is not so glamorous.

Deeney selected the best 11 of the week after the EPL round on the BBC and is revealing the reasons for the players' selection.

If the 16th round was the target, there are plenty of reasons for Son Heung-min to be included. Son Heung-min has been very sluggish in recent games, but he led his team to a 5-0 victory with a strong performance reminiscent of his peak in the 16th round against Southampton. He scored one goal and two assists while playing for only 45 minutes in the first half.

Son Heung-min scored his sixth goal of the season in the 12th minute of the first half, and added one help each in the 25th minute and extra time. With the addition of two assists on the day, Son Heung-min will record the most assists (68) by Tottenham players in history. He proved himself to be a `Tottenham legend.'

Thanks to this, Tottenham was also able to escape from the swamp of five recent official games without a win. Beat Southampton 5-0. The ranking also went up to 10th place.

Son Heung-min became the most valuable player (MOM) after the game. It also received the highest ratings from various local media. European soccer statistics firm Huscoordcom gave Son a 9.79 rating. It is a near-perfect evaluation. In fact, it is the best evaluation considering that few out of 10 points come out. SofaScore also gave 9.3 points, the highest rating in the game and the highest rating in the team.




Nevertheless, Deeney did not put Son Heung-min in 'Best 11'. It doesn't exclude all Tottenham players either. Pape Sarr, Archie Gray, and Jed Spence were added. Only Son Heung-min is taken out.

However, Sar has a 9.19 rating and a 8.54 rating for Spence based on Huscoord. Even Gray was only 7.15.

He included players who are as much as 0.6 points to as much as 2.64 points apart from Son Heung-min in the best 11, while excluding MOM, who received the highest score of the game. This is the point where intentionality and malice are felt.
