In a sensational match at Turf Moor, Tottenham showcased their might as Son Heung-min scored a remarkable hat-trick to lead the Lilywhites to a resounding victory. Despite an early lead by Burnley, courtesy of Lyle Foster's beautiful goal, Son's finesse brought Ange Postecoglou's side level just 12 minutes later, setting the stage for their dominance.
Tottenham seized control of the game for the rest of the first half, with Argentine defender Cristian Romero's curling shot from the edge of the 18-yard box completing the turnaround just before halftime. The second half saw James Maddison continue his impressive start to the 2023-24 season, curling a sublime goal beyond Burnley's James Trafford.
South Korea star Son continued to shine, side-footing the ball past Trafford for his second goal, and he completed his hat-trick with a precise low strike after Pedro Porro's brilliant through ball. While Josh Brownhill managed to pull one back for Burnley in stoppage time to make it 5-2.
Following the win, Tottenham forward Heung-min Son told BBC Match of the Day said: "[It was] very good but we still have space to improve. Away from home, we can’t concede a goal [inside] ten minutes, but the way we responded was fantastic. Everyone was involved. I’m very happy to get three points in a difficult place.
"I think everyone enjoys it when you have space. We want to have the ball, everyone has to move in the right direction. It looked like we had a lot of space but I think we were creating the space. Everyone was moving.
"There’s a lot of pressure because you’re playing in a Premier League team. Sometimes you forget how important happiness is, that you enjoy your football."
When asked for his thoughts on his hat-trick, he replied: "It’s a very special moment because it’s not easy scoring three goals in the Premier League. I’m happy to have amazing players around me, grateful to all the players who gave me the assists and happy to get the three points."
The victory propels Tottenham to ten points from their first four games, showing their strength in the Premier League.
