Son was confirmed as Tottenham’s new captain last month. After that, he failed to score in his first four appearances of the season. But Son opened his account in class in the 16th minute of the Premier League match at Turf Moor. Son’s goal helped Spurs equalize 1-1 after Lyle Foster put Burnley ahead in the fourth minute.
Son was heavily involved in creating goals, running to catch the ball from his teammates before making the crucial pass to Manor Solomon. After receiving a return pass from Solomon, Son performed a daring lob over the head of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford.
Heung-min had a brilliant match.
At the end of the first half, Cristian Romero’s shot from outside the penalty area shook the goal, giving Spurs a 2-1 lead.
Not long after entering the second half, rookie James Maddison continued to shine with his own goal, after continuously scoring and assisting for Spurs.
But the main character is still the Korean captain, he scored another brace within 3 minutes to complete a hat-trick for himself. Josh Brownhill scored in the last minute to setting the score 5-2 for the match, bringing Spurs up to 2nd place.
