Son ends Tottenham drought with hat-trick off the bench in Leicester win - 6 talking points

Heung-Min Son came off the bench to score a stunning hat-trick and ensure that Tottenham kept the pressure on Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.

Leicester had gone ahead through Youri Tielemans' penalty, though Harry Kane quickly equalised. Eric Dier then turned the game on its head by flicking in Ivan Perisic's squad but Leicester had the last laugh of the first-half when James Maddison scored a remarkable volley to level.

A series of attacking substitutions, coupled with a defensive horror-show from Leicester, meant that Spurs claimed the three points, with Rodrigo Bentancur first slotting past Danny Ward before Heung-Min Son scored three stunning goals to seal the win. Here, Mirror Football looks at six talking points from the entertaining clash.
