Son Heung-min showcased his scoring prowess with a sensational hat-trick, propelling Tottenham to a remarkable comeback after initially trailing against Burnley at Turf Moor.
The Clarets gained an early advantage when Lyle Foster finished a beautifully orchestrated play, putting them in the lead. However, it didn’t take long for Son to display his skill, delicately slotting the ball into the net just 12 minutes later, leveling the score. From that moment, Tottenham took command of the match.
As the first half drew to a close, Cristian Romero’s precise curling effort from outside the box completed the turnaround.
In the second half, James Maddison continued to impress this season by delivering a sublime goal just nine minutes in. The former Leicester player expertly curled the ball past James Trafford after Burnley generously surrendered possession deep in their own half.
Son added to his tally with a well-placed side-footed shot, securing his second goal of the game. He then completed his hat-trick with a composed low strike after expertly latching onto Pedro Porro’s perfectly timed through ball.
Burnley managed to salvage some pride with Josh Brownhill’s tidy finish in stoppage time, but it was ultimately a mere consolation.
Tottenham, who had been eliminated from the EFL Cup by Fulham earlier in the week, now boasts ten points from their first four games, while Burnley is still in search of their first point this season.
