TOTTENHAM Hotspur’s Son Heung-min scored a hat-trick – his first of the season – as his side demolished Burnley 5-2 at Turf Moor on Saturday.

Burnley, still without a point, got a dream start when Lyle Foster finished neatly in the fourth minute against the visitors.

But Tottenham soon hit their stride and Son levelled in the 16th minute with a dinked finish before Christian Romero’s rasping shot gave the Londoners the lead in first-half stoppage time.

James Maddison made it 3-1 with a delightful curled finish in the 54th minute before Son struck twice in quick succession just past the hour mark to complete an emphatic win.

Burnley grabbed a late consolation through Josh Brownhill.
