'Captain'There was no Son Heung-min. But Tottenham produced three 'Best 11'. Coach Enze Postecoglou was named the 'Best Director'.

England's 'BBC' unveiled the 12th round of the English Premier League (EPL) in the 2024-2025 season, selected by Troy Deeney, a football expert from Watford FC, on the 26th (Korea time). The keyword was Tottenham.

Tottenham won a 4-0 away match against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, England, on the 24th. Tottenham predicted an unexpected event with James Maddison's consecutive goals in the 13th and 20th minutes of the first half. Dejan Kulusevski scored the first goal and Son Heung-min assisted him in the second goal.



Son Heung-min and Madison's perfect match was the best. Joshko Gvardiol's pass miss was the start. Madison's toe-to-toe ball headed to Son Heung-min.

Son pulled defenders to himself and passed again to Madison, who dug into the back space. Madison calmly completed the multi-goal in a one-on-one chance with the opposing goalkeeper.



Pedro Porro's third goal in the 7th minute of the second half was also the starting point for Son Heung-min. In the counterattack situation, Son Heung-min connected a pass to Kulusevski to peel off two defenders at once. Kulusevski's cross was delivered to Dominic Solanke. Pedro Porro finished Solanke's cutback with a powerful right footed shot.

The match's weight tilted to Tottenham, and Son Heung-min was replaced by Brannon Johnson in the 18th minute of the second half. Johnson scored a wedge goal with the help of Timo Werner in the second half extra time.

Ben Davies, who filled the void between Christian Romero and Mickey van der Penn along with Madison and Porro, was named the best 11. In the 4-3-2 formation, Madison was named best central midfielder, Porro was named right fullback, and Davis was named centerback.

Deeney said of Madison 'I picked him as number 10. He scored a moulter goal and played a great game. With many fans turning their backs on him, he was under tremendous pressure. But it showed us why we appreciate itpraise '

In the background of choosing Davis, he was excellent against Manchester City. I expected him to be a weakness, like many others, and expected Elling Holan to score beyond him. But it wasn't. He praised 'excellent, brilliant, brilliant'. Porro also 'I didn't like this player very much. He thought it was a great luxury. But defensively, he was good, and he also scored goals and pitches.

As for Postecoglou 'He didn't change his style of play despite all the pressure on him, he went back to what Tottenham did. He explained that he had a big 4-0 win at Manchester City.

Three West Ham players who beat Newcastle United 2-0 in the away game on the 26th were also included in the 'Team of the Week'. Three-top players were Mohamed Salah (Liverpool), Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton), and Nicola Jackson (Chelsea). Madison, Thomas Soucek (West Ham), and Mikel Merino (Arnall) were recognized as the best in the midfield.

Four backs were lined with Porro, Davis and Max Kilman and Aaron Wan-Bissaka (West Ham), and the best goalkeeper was Andre Onana (Manchester United).
