He made it. Tomáš Souček is the first Czech in history to close the Premier League season with a double-digit number of goals. He tied the tenth at West Bromwich on Wednesday night. He equalized to 1: 1 after Matheus Pereira opened the scoring due to his flow. Souček surpassed the previous record holders of Berger and Baroš – it must be remembered that as a midfielder with significant defensive instructions. Bravo.
After Germany, Italy and France, the Czech shooter “occupied” the fourth country from the TOP 5 European competitions with at least a ten-goal record. Interestingly, in Germany 16 goals are dominated by Pavel Kuka (Kaiserslautern, 1994/95) and Jan Koller (Dortmund, 2003/04), Italy is dominated by 15-goal Tomáš Skuhravý (Genoa, 1990/91), France by Josef Humpál (Sochaux, 1948/49) with 26 goals. And England is now ruled by Souček. Only Spain is missing.
But let’s go back to the purely English legacy that Czech footballers left behind. As we mentioned in the introduction, Milan Baroš (twice, he finished in nine in the 2002/03 and 2004/05 seasons) and Patrik Berger (1999/00) were close to ten goals. Tomáš Souček overcame them on the penultimate opportunity. A convenient reminder of his shooting talents.
Especially suitable for West Ham, which is not doing well at the end of the season. Jesse Lingard lost form and after a series of bad results (1-1-3) the Hammers fell from fourth to seventh. At the same time, there was a real risk of falling off the cup, which would be a truly catastrophic scenario after the spring call of the Champions League.
The victory at the WBA, which was arranged by Ogbonna and Antonio at the very end, gave Hammers a great starting position. In the last match, a point is enough for them to secure the European League. This is also because Tottenham lost sensationally to Aston Ville in perhaps Harry Kane’s last home game.
A little out of context, this one Adamy Traoré’s crazy intrusion have you seen in the Wolves match at Everton? And this one magical Guard of Honor not for goodbye Roy Hodgson either? So be sure to have them.
So now let’s go to the traditional sections …

The 37th round of the Premier League

Goalkeeper – Jordan Pickford (Everton): The injury of the Pope and the growing form of Pickford mean that we will probably see a blond goalkeeper in this year’s championship as well as in Albion’s goal. Against Wolverhampton, he scored the tenth clean sheet of the season, to which he contributed two difficult interventions.
Right defender – Jacob Murphy (Newcastle): He took advantage of the fact that Sheffield didn’t employ Newcastle’s defenses too much, so he could concentrate on honing the line. He tried to shoot twice, but had the greatest credit for another skill. It was his assistance and Willock’s goal that decided Magpies’ closest win.
Right stopper – Nathaniel Phillips (Liverpool): The mast in the lime of Liverpool reflected one center after another and didn’t give Wood much breath. One more time, he turned the ball away from the goal line. That alone would be enough to put the bike together – and Phillips also scored. At this point, Klopp may not mind having five injured stoppers.
Left stop – Antonio Rüdiger (Chelsea): When he’s playing and he has no reason to lay out the cabin from the inside, he’s the player you just want to have on the team. Rüdiger showed a great performance against Leicester, he was exceptionally good in combat, he gave a key opening goal of the match and just by the way, sometimes with the ball on his foot turned into Messi. In the end, he also canceled the pressure of Lišek with a small nudge of Pereira.
Left back – Andrew Robertson (Liverpool): This post was a big fight, because such a Joe Bryan would definitely deserve a mention with a goal at Old Trafford. We eventually chose Andy Robertson, who played a huge part in the much-needed victory against Burnley. Reds prepared two of his three goals for his colleagues.
Right midfielder – Joe Willock (Newcastle): The English midfielder has been performing in such weeks that Newcastle should definitely break the piggy bank and turn this extraordinary successful guest from Arsenal into a transfer. The sixth goal in the last six matches, Joe Willock and against Sheffield confirmed that he became the driving force of the team. In addition to the goal, he completed six penetrations.
Defensive midfielder – André-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Fulham): Fulham is falling into the Championship, but we will probably see this Cameroon in the Premier League next season as well. That is, unless an elite club pulls it out of another competition. Zambo Anguissa relieved the dangers of Bruno Fernandes and others, and with his comprehensive performance at the heart of the game, he was instrumental in the draw at Old Trafford.
Middle Center Midfielder – John McGinn (Aston Villa): That’s what he looks like – a tiny but brutally supercharged engine that often explodes unstoppably thanks to the turbo. John McGinn has a tremendous amount of energy in his muscular body, and Tottenham simply wasn’t up to him on Wednesday. The cattle fired at the goal, formed the game, flew around the field – sometimes like Gattuso, sometimes like Zidane. King of the middle of the field.
Right wing – Nicolas Pépé (Arsenal): At the end of the season, he shows that in the next one, for example, he may already be the driving force that Arsenal brought in for £ 72 million last year. Just get rid of that terrible imbalance. Because when he’s in shape, he’s great – just like against Crystal Palace, he missed home last-night Roy Hodgson a little with two goals.
Midfielder – Patrick Bamford (Leeds): He scored 16 goals in the Championship last year. And this year too. But in the Premier League. The transition between the elite, which Patrick Bamford failed to do five years ago, has now caught him in perfect shape. He scored a goal in Southampton, another fell after his hard blow – and if he was a little bigger bitch, he would win a penalty kick for McCarthy. Extremely successful and sympathetic performance.
Left forward – Timo Werner (Chelsea): Allan Saint-Maximin showed an extraordinary performance against Sheffield and with his record 15 penetrations entertained the stands of St. James’ Park. But it was Timo Werner who earned his last nomination for his tireless performance and constant terrorizing Leicester’s defenses. He was fouled twice in the lime, the second contact was a penalty and a winning goal. He scored two extra goals himself – but both were later taken away from him by the referees.
