How it happened

Burnley took the lead against the run of play after just five minutes when Lyle Foster turned home Luca Koleosho’s cut-back. Their joy was short-lived however, as a little more than 10 minutes later Spurs drew level with what was their first meaningful attack of the game. 

A hopeful joist over the top was pounced upon by Heung-min Son, who after a neat exchange of passes with Manor Solomon, dinked the ball over James Trafford. 

Cristian Romero fired home in unlikely fashion from the edge of the area, crashing an effort home off the angle of post and bar to make it two for Spurs.

Spurs kept probing after the break. Ameen Al-Dakhil was the man caught in possession this time, and he was made to pay by Maddison as he curled home from 25 yards. 

Spurs were in cruise control and in the mood for goals - Son grabbed his second of the afternoon when he slammed home from Solomon’s inch-perfect cut back.

 The South Korean didn’t have to wait much longer for his hat-trick goal to arrive, smashing home past Trafford.
