Son Heung-min on Saturday scored a hat-trick as Tottenham recovered from a goal down to thrash Burnley at Turf Moor, to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

Burnley forward, Lyle Foster gave the Clarets an early lead, but Son's delicate finish restored parity 12 minutes later, as Cristian Romero completed the turnaround on the stroke of half-time.

James Maddison continued his fine start to the campaign with a peach of a goal nine minutes into the second half, as the former Leicester man curled beyond James Trafford after Burnley had gifted the visitors possession inside their own half.

Son's side-footed shot passed Trafford for his second of the game before completing his treble with a low strike after latching on to Pedro Porro's delightful through ball.

Josh Brownhill's neat finish pulled one back for Burnley in stoppage time, as  it was no more than a consolation.

Spurs, who were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Fulham on Tuesday, move to ten points from their opening four games, while Burnley remain without a point this season.
