Son Heung-min scored his fifth Tottenham hat-trick at Burnley on Saturday, but there was much more to the Spurs skipper's performance than just his goals.
If Tottenham fans were wondering where the goals were going to come from after last month's departure of Harry Kane, they may now have their answer.- a victory down in large part to a lethal display of finishing from captain Son Heung-min.
"It's a very special moment because it's not easy, scoring three goals in the Premier League," Son told BBC Match of the Day after the game. "I'm very happy to get three points in a difficult place." He also applied more pressures than any other player on the pitch, with 11 of those resulting in turnovers in possession.
"We want to have the ball, everyone was moving in the right direction. It looked like we had a lot of space but we were creating the space.Son's hat-trick was his first since Tottenham's 6-2 win at home to Leicester last seasonIt was by no means false modesty from Son, who was not the only Spurs player to catch the eye at Turf Moor.
