Son Heung-min’s hat-trick came in 13 second-half minutes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After scoring 23 goals last season, Tottenham’s Son Heung-min had fired blanks in this first six games this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

It led to manager Antonio Conte deciding to drop the South Korean forward to the bench for their home game against Leicester City on Saturday night. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But, as the clock reached 59 minutes, Conte turned round and called for the influential 30-year-old, with the game firmly in the balance at 3-2.<\/span><\/p>\n

Less than 30 minutes later it was 6-2 and Son had become the first Tottenham player to score a hat-trick off the bench in the Premier League, with a devastating 13-minute burst. <\/span><\/p>\n

He curled a right-footed effort into the top corner from 25 yards, before a left-footed strike found the bottom corner from 20 yards and it was rounded off by a deflected shot being given after the video assistant referee overruled an offside decision. <\/span><\/p>\n

It led to former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp telling Sky Sports that Spurs “have got a chance to achieve something”. <\/span><\/p>\n

Meanwhile Chris Sutton, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live’s 606, said “Spurs have the best forward line” in the Premier League. <\/span><\/p>\n
