The Premier League’s October honors are heating up with Tottenham’s lethal partnership of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son stealing the spotlight. As reported by Crickex, the duo’s electrifying performances have earned them nominations for the EA SPORTS Player of the Month award, while their manager, Jose Mourinho, is in contention for the Barclays Manager of the Month prize.
Kane and Son: A Partnership for the Ages
Few strike partnerships in Premier League history have been as devastating as Kane and Son this season. With 14 goals and 10 assists between them already, their telepathic understanding has propelled Spurs to third place, just two points behind leaders Liverpool. Their latest connection—Son’s winner against Burnley—marked their 29th combined goal in the league, tying them with former Chelsea legends Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard. Only time will tell if they surpass this iconic duo.
Defensive Brilliance and Midfield Magic
While Kane and Son dominate the headlines, other players have also shone brightly in October:
- Thiago Silva (Chelsea): The veteran center-back marshaled Chelsea’s defense to three clean sheets, proving age is just a number.
- Kyle Walker (Man City): Scored a crucial goal against former club Sheffield United while maintaining defensive solidity.
- Jack Grealish (Aston Villa): The Villa captain was instrumental in their historic 7-2 demolition of Liverpool, contributing two goals and three assists.
Managerial Masterminds in the Running
Jose Mourinho isn’t the only tactician in the mix for October’s managerial honor. The competition is fierce:
- Nuno Espírito Santo (Wolves): Guided his side to an unbeaten month with three clean sheets.
- Ralph Hasenhüttl (Southampton): Transformed Saints into a formidable unit, with Che Adams flourishing under his guidance.
- Dean Smith (Aston Villa): Oversaw Villa’s stunning rise, including that unforgettable Liverpool thrashing.
Goal of the Month Contenders
October also delivered some spectacular strikes, with notable nominations including:
- Manuel Lanzini’s last-gasp stunner against Spurs.
- Bruno Fernandes’ clinical finish vs. Newcastle.
- Timo Werner’s composed strike in Chelsea’s win over Southampton.
