England Premier League (EPL) legend Alan Shearer had a different eye.

Tottenham's Son Heung-min (Tottenham) was included in the best 11 of England's 'BBC', but there was no name on EPL's 'Team of the Week'. The EPL secretariat unveiled the best 11 in the eighth round of the EPL in the 2024-2025 season selected by Shearer on the 23rd (Korea time).

Tottenham produced the most two players. Dejan Kulusevski, who scored the equalizer, and Ives Bissouma, the winner of the winning goal, were located in the midfield in a 3-4-3 system. On the other hand, Son Heung-min, who showed a strong performance of "1 goal, 1 point, 1 goal, 1 goal induction", was excluded.



Tottenham came from behind to beat West Ham 4-1 in the eighth round. Tottenham, which allowed West Ham's Mohamed Kudus to score the first goal in the 18th minute of the first half, Kulusevski brought the match to square one in the 36th minute of the first half.

The second half was 'Son Heung-min time' On the 26th of last month, he collapsed due to a hamstring (back muscle of the thigh) injury in the Europa League (UEL) against Karabakh (Azerbaijan). He then missed Tottenham's three games. It was a return match against West Ham.

He set the stage for the winning goal in the seventh minute of the second half, which was balanced 1-1. His outfront pass to break down the sub-line was connected to Destiny Udoji. Udoji's cutback was solved by Ives Bissouma with his right foot.

Son Heung-min was responsible for two goals alone after making the turnaround. He took a pass from Kulusevski in the 10th minute of the second half and fired a right-footed shot, and the ball went through the goal after hitting opposing goalkeeper Alphonse Areola and defender Jean-Claire Todibo. The goal was recorded as an own goal for Areola.



Son Heung-min shook off the disappointment of his own goal five minutes later. In the counterattack Sanghang, which received Papesar's pass, he scored a wedge goal with his left foot with his brilliant individual skills. It was his third goal this season.

Shearer set up Alejandro Garnacho (Manchester United), Danny Welbeck (Brighton) and Abdul Patau Isahaku (Leicester City) in the best 11 front-line three-top. In midfield, along with Kulusevski and Bissouma, Yuri Tillemans (Aston Villa) and Curtis Jones (Liverpool) were recognized as the best.

Three-backs included Michael Keane (Everton), Marcos Sennessey (Bonmouth), and Yoshko Gvardiol (Man City), while the best goalkeeper was Jose Sa (Wolverhampton).

Shearer said of Kulusevski 'He continued his tremendous form, creating confusion and scoring a goal. He was the best player on the field. "He showed all the action of the Tottenham midfielder and scored his second goal, justifying his return to the starting line-up."

It was different from the "Team of the State" selected by the Watford football expert Troy Deeney in the eighth round 'BBC'. Son Heung-min was the only Tottenham player. He was the best on the left side of the three-top.

Deeney said of Son Heung-min: "'In a game that was easily won by his side after West Ham took the lead, the Tottenham captain scored the last goal to allow him to dominate the game with three points.'He helped with a positive run throughout the game and played 65 minutes brilliantly after returning from injury.'

'BBC'Team of this State' was a 4-3-3 formation. Along with Son Heung-min, Chris Wood (Nottingham Forest) and Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) were located in the three-top. Mario Lemina (Wolverhampton), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Parkundo Buonanote (Leicester City), Ashley Young, Michael Keane (Everton), Joel Beltman (Brighton) and Yoshko Gvardiol (Man City) lined up in the midfield, and the best goalkeeper was Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa).
