In an impressive display, Son Heung-min led the way for Tottenham Hotspur as they secured a 4-1 victory over Burnley. Lyle Foster opened the scoring for Burnley, but Son quickly equalized in the 16th minute. Cristian Romero and James Maddison then added to Tottenham’s lead, before Son scored two more goals within four minutes after the hour mark to complete his hat-trick. This win marks 10 points out of a possible 12 for Tottenham under manager Ange Postecoglou.
With the recent signing of Brennan Johnson, Tottenham’s attacking options have received a boost. Although Johnson was not able to make his debut in this match, Son’s performance showcased his ability to carry the scoring burden for the team after the departure of Harry Kane. Son’s first goals since April have given a sense of optimism to the travelling fans.
Despite a stoppage-time consolation goal from Josh Brownhill, it was a challenging afternoon once again for Burnley. After opening defeats to Manchester City and Aston Villa, Burnley displayed a positive and assertive approach early on, which led to Foster’s early goal. However, their high-risk possession game eventually backfired as Tottenham ruthlessly punished their mistakes.
During the first 15 minutes, Burnley showed promise and controlled possession, keeping Tottenham on the backfoot. However, everything changed in the 16th minute when Pedro Porro delivered a simple ball over the top, allowing Son to beat the defenders and score a crucial equalizer for Tottenham.
As the game progressed, Tottenham grew stronger, with James Maddison dictating play and Burnley struggling with their attempts to play out from the back. Tottenham had several chances to extend their lead, with Pape Sarr’s shot blocked unconventionally and Maddison’s bending effort narrowly saved by the Burnley goalkeeper. Eventually, the pressure paid off, and Cristian Romero scored just before halftime, solidifying Tottenham’s advantage.
At the start of the second half, Burnley made changes to their lineup in an attempt to improve their performance. However, more defensive errors from Burnley allowed James Maddison to score again, increasing Tottenham’s lead. Burnley did manage to create some chances, but Tottenham’s defense held firm. Son then took center stage, scoring two more goals to complete his hat-trick and seal the victory for Tottenham.
In stoppage time, Josh Brownhill pulled one back for Burnley, but by then, the majority of the Turf Moor crowd had left, disappointed with their team’s performance.
