Mikel Arteta's Arsenal team may be slightly worried about coming against Son Heung-min once Premier League football returns next weekend. Failing to score in his first eight games of the season for Tottenham, the 30-year-old silenced his critics with an incredible hat-trick against Leicester City in the space of 13 minutes and 21 seconds.
Having looked short on confidence in the opening weeks of the season and struggling with his game, Antonio Conte's decision to drop the player down to the bench for a breather proved to be a masterstroke. Ultimately handing his man a much-needed confidence boost in the process, his heroics against Leicester don't appear to be a one-off.
Involved in international action for South Korea on Friday against Costa Rica, the Spurs man was once again on the scoresheet to help his country salvage a 2-2 draw. Trailing 2-1 heading into the final five minutes of the contest, the hosts were awarded a free-kick on the left corner of the D on the edge of the box which Son duly took control of.
