Tottenham 6-2 Leicester: Substitute Son Heung-min scores a HAT-TRICK in just 14 minutes

Son Heung-min came off the bench to score a sensational hat-trick as Tottenham recovered from a shaky start to thrash Premier League strugglers Leicester 6-2. 

It was breathtaking from start to finish as Youri Tielemans’ penalty gave Leicester the lead after six minutes, before Harry Kane equalised for Spurs just two minutes later with a back post header.

Eric Dier also used his head to put the hosts in front as he flicked home a corner. But the bottom-of-the-table Foxes responded well and had plenty of chances to equalise before James Maddison sent a brilliant first-time finish past Hugo Lloris four minutes before half-time.

Spurs were back in front only two minutes after the break through Rodrigo Bentancur’s first goal for the club before Son came on just before the hour mark. The rest was just extraordinary. Two stunning finishes from outside of the box and then a finish inside the box that was originally ruled out for offside before VAR gave the goal.
