Son Heung-spectacular min's hat-trick helped Tottenham Hotspur thrash Leicester City 6-2 on Saturday to go joint top of the Premier League and snap his scoring drought. Despite an interesting battle being broken up by Rodrigo Bentancur's goal for Tottenham, Son, who came off the bench, erupted back into form with three goals in only 14 minutes. The win brought Tottenham and the defending champions Manchester City equal on 17 points, though Arsenal can reclaim first place if they defeat Brentford at home on Sunday.
With just one point from seven games, Leicester is still in last place, and manager Brendan Rodgers is under increasing pressure. Youri Tielemans converted both of his penalties for the visitors after Hugo Lloris had stopped his first attempt. Tottenham will enter the international break on a high after going 13 games in a row without losing in the Premier League.
