Tottenham largely won at Burnley (2-5) on Saturday, thanks in particular to a hat-trick from captain Son Heung-Min.
Promoted captain of Tottenham (in place of Hugo Lloris and with the departure of Harry Kane), Son Heung-Min launched his season on Saturday by scoring a hat-trick on the field of Burnley (2-5), on behalf of the Premier League Matchday 4. The South Korean has 104 goals in the English league since his arrival in 2015, and symbolically exceeds a Cristiano Ronaldo with 103 goals (from 2003-2009 and in 2021-2022 with Manchester United).
The reigning D2 champions however opened the entry score (Lyle Foster in the 4th), but the Spurs of Ange Postecoglou, with a high quality collective, then rolled out. “Sonaldo”, at the expense of Richarlison, was perfectly found each time to admire his remarkable coolness in front of the opposing goal (16th, 63rd and 66th). James Maddison, also excellent at finishing, scored his second goal of the season.
Tottenham chained a 3rd victory to turn into the dolphin of Manchester City at the international break. The Clarets are last with zero points.
