Son Heung-min has been selected as the team of Lee Ju-yi in the English Premier League (EPL).
On the 17th (Korea time), the EPL Secretariat announced the selection of the 16th-round migrant team on its official website. The person who selected Lee Ju's team was legend Alan Shearer, the most scorer in EPL history. Shearer chose Son Heung-min, who played only 45 minutes but performed fantastic.
Son Heung-min started in the 16th round of the EPL against Southampton at St. Mary's Stadium in Southampton, England, on the 16th and led Tottenham to a 5-0 victory.
Tottenham began to take the lead with James Maddison's first goal just one minute into the match. After Madison stepped up, Son Heung-min took over Tottenham's goal march. In the 10th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min controlled the zero point by receiving a cross handed over by Pape Matar Sarr and leading to a shot.
Son's score came in the 12th minute of the first half. Madison's cross to the center hit the Southampton defender's head and flowed backward. Son Heung-min rushed quickly as expected, and finished with his left foot. It was the moment when Son Heung-min's fifth goal in the league exploded.
Son Heung-min scored his team's third goal as soon as he scored. Madison stabbed Son Heung-min from the back this time. Son Heung-min put up a cross in time for Dominic Solanke's penetration. Southampton's defense blocked it, but Dejan Kulusevski finished the second ball lightly. It was not Son Heung-min's help, but he was involved in scoring.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Son Heung-min scored an assist. After receiving Destiny Udogi's pass, Son Heung-min took the line to the center. When Papesar came in, he gave up the pass immediately, and Papesar scored after a simple dribble breakthrough.
Son Heung-min started running at a tremendous speed in the counterattack in the 34th minute of the first half. Madison gave up the pass, and Son Heung-min received it and continued with a shot, but was blocked by the goalkeeper. The combination of Madison and Son Heung-min continued to shine. Son Heung-min also made an effective shot after receiving Madison's pass in the 42nd minute of the first half and breaking through Kyle Walker Peters.
Son Heung-min scored Madison, who supplied him with the pass. In the fourth minute of extra time in the first half, Son Heung-min poked a fantastic out front pass from the left toward Madison. Madison folded in the square and shook the net on the other side. Son Heung-min left work early after a fantastic performance involving four of Tottenham's five goals. Son Heung-min had the best performance this season.
Shearer's choice was natural. Shearer scored one goal and two assists as to why he chose Son Heung-min, but only played in the first half. Son Heung-min couldn't play 45 minutes after half-time"I couldn't hide my surprise.
It is the second time this season that Son Heung-min has been selected as a member of the EPL's Lee Ju's team. Son Heung-min once scored multiple goals in the second round of the EPL against Everton, leading to a 4-0 victory.
The match against Southampton was in many ways meaningful to Son Heung-min. Son Heung-min, who added one goal, scored 125 goals in the league alone, and is now tied for 18th in EPL history. It is tied with Chelsea legend Nicolas Anelka.

Son Heung-min is expected to be able to rise to 16th place in the league's all-time top scorer within this season. Robbie Keane, who is currently 17th, has 126 goals and Jimmy Floyd Haselbink, who is 16th, has 127, so if Son Heung-min adds three more goals, he will rise to 16th place alone.
In addition, Son Heung-min ranked No. 1 in the history of Tottenham EPL. The previous record was 67 assists held by senior Darren Anderton. Son Heung-min, who added two more assists, was a 68-year-old. Tottenham also made a commemorative uniform and presented it to Son Heung-min, who became the No. 1 help in the club's EPL history.
Along with Son Heung-min, Shearer's choice was Alexander Isaac, Jacob Murphy, Lewis Hall (Newcastle), Ismaila Sarr, Maxance Lacroix (Crystal Palace), Moises Caicedo (Chelsea), Ahmad Diallo (Manchester United), Nikola Milenkovic (Nottingham Forest), Jordan Pickford (Everton) and teammate James Madison.
