Son Heung-min: Tottenham's hat-trick hero at Burnley leading by example on and off pitch

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.

Spurs recovered from an early Lyle Foster opener to thump Burnley 5-2 at Turf Moor - a victory down in large part to a lethal display of finishing from captain Son Heung-min.

It was the South Korean's fourth Premier League treble - his fifth overall - and his first since Spurs' 6-2 victory over Leicester in September last year.

Son had failed to find the net in Tottenham's opening three league games of the campaign, but his ruthless performance against Vincent Kompany's side suggests the forward's goalscoring instincts remain firmly intact after an underwhelming 2022-23 season.
