Son Heung-min rescues Tottenham from Southampton after scoring four goals in a remarkable performance as Tottenham achieved their first Premier League win of the season.

 

The South Korea international connected well with Harry Kane for all four of his goals as Spurs took control after Danny Ings' excellent finish from a tight angle had given Southampton a first-half head.

 

Son’s first came on the cuff of half-time when he ran on to Kane’s pass before driving across Alex McCarthy and into the back of the net.


The pair opened up Southampton again as Spurs took the lead soon after the restart, Kane sending Son through one-on-one and the forward making no mistake.


The hosts struggled to deal with Son’s superbly timed runs behind the defence and he rightfully got his third, racing on to Kane’s clipped pass before slotting in.


Kane then provided his fourth assist of the day with a brilliant cross for Son, who coolly chipped McCarthy, before Kane got in on the scoring himself when he drove in from close range after Erik Lamela’s shot had been pushed on to the post.
