This is Madueke’s third Man of the Match of the season; no one has more (Palmer also has three). And yet, his overall average rating is miles off of Palmer’s. Gotta get that consistency!
Noni has four goals and one assist in (2) games against teams ending in -hampton. He has two goals and one assists in (14) games against teams not ending in -hampton.
What if we just call them [Tottenham](https://cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com)\-pton?
2\. COLE PALMER (7.6)
---------------------
Palmer just edges out Caicedo for second, though there were plenty of others who could’ve justifiable earned a spot on the podium.
Cole now leads the team in league goals with 9, which is especially impressive given the extra attention teams are paying him this season. Thankfully, we look to have evolved beyond Palmer FC.
3\. MOISÉS CAICEDO (7.6)
------------------------
The only concern is that Caicedo put in yet another 90-minute shift, his second in four days, and we’re definitely going to need him against Spurs.
vs. SOUTHAMPTON (PL, A, W 5-1)
