Heung-min Son scores hat-trick and James Maddison shines again as Tottenham continue to impress under Ange Postecoglou
Tottenham responded brilliantly after their Carabao Cup exit by delivering a dominant performance against Burnley at Turf Moor. Skipper Heung-min Son, who had yet to score under Ange Postecoglou, netted a hat-trick in the 5-2 victory. James Maddison also showcased his skills once again, scoring for the second consecutive Premier League match. Despite their midweek disappointment, Tottenham remains unbeaten in the league this season, securing ten points out of a possible 12. However, they had to come from behind after Lyle Foster opened the scoring for Burnley in the fourth minute. Son equalized with a delightful chip over the goalkeeper, and Cristian Romero put Spurs ahead just before halftime with a magnificent curling effort. Maddison extended their lead with a trademark curling strike, and Son added two more goals in quick succession. Burnley managed to salvage a consolation goal through Josh Brownhill in added time. Vincent Kompany’s side, on the other hand, has lost all three of their Premier League matches and currently sits in 20th place. Tottenham, under the guidance of Postecoglou, continues to impress and is currently second in the league standings, trailing only Manchester City.

The start of the 2021/2022 season has been an incredibly positive time for Tottenham Hotspur, with the club continuing to impress under the stewardship of manager Ange Postecoglou. In remarkable fashion, they have recently adapted to his tactical approach and a 3-1 victory away to Leeds United last Sunday was a demonstration of their progress as a team.
Heung-min Son has undoubtedly been one of the standout players of the season so far and his performance against Leeds was no different. The South Korean international scored a magnificent hat-trick, becoming the first Asian player to do so in the Premier League and it was clear to see the joy from the fans in the stadium.
James Maddison’s performance was another positive talking point in the match. The 24-year-old has been a valuable addition to the team since his arrival from Leicester City last summer and he scored a superb free-kick to help Spurs to victory.
The signs this season are very encouraging for Spurs and Postecoglou’s impact at the club should not be underestimated. He has one of the most talented squads in the division and with the right guidance, they will be aiming to continue their current form and push for a top-half finish.
The club’s improvements are evident and performances such as Heung-min Son’s hat-trick and James Maddison’s creativity will be key as Tottenham look to cement their place as a Premier League mainstay.
