Paul Merson proven wrong on Antonio Conte's stars after Tottenham's masterclass vs Aston Villa

Antonio Conte's front three are becoming unstoppable at the moment, with the trio making all eight goal contributions for Tottenham against Aston Villa on Saturday. It was a hattrick from Son Heung-min at Villa Park, with Harry Kane and Dejan Kulusevski picking up an assist each.

The Swede got Spurs' second goal, which was also assisted by Kane and the trio created a number of other chances against Steven Gerrard's side. The victory has kept the Lilywhites fourth in the Premier League table, with seven games left to play.

Son and Kane have been producing combination goals for years and even more so this season, breaking the Premier League record earlier in the season. The introduction of Kulusevski, with his arrival in the January transfer window, could've gone either way but the 21-year-old has slotted right in and made an immediate impact.
