Fans slam 'criminal' omission of Tottenham star Son Heung-min in PFA Team of the Year despite him winning the Golden Boot... as others lament Man City midfielder Rodri also not being selected in the divisional XI

Football fans have slammed the 'criminal' omission of Tottenham star Son Heung-min from the PFA Team of the Year.

Son was not selected in the team, announced at a virtual awards ceremony on Thursday, despite finishing as the Premier League's joint-top goalscorer with Mohamed Salah.

The South Korean and Salah both ended on 23 goals but there was no room for Son in the front three of the divisional XI, voted for by players.
