Son Heung-min roared back to form and ended his 8-match scoring drought in tremendous fashion with a sublime hat-trick as Tottenham trounced Leicester City 6-2 in Premier League on Saturday night.

On a dramatic night at Tottenham, Leicester City first took the lead in the sixth minute through a penalty spot but Kulusevski scored the equaliser two minutes later for the Spurs.

Eric Dier then put Tottenham ahead in the 21st minute but nothing separated the two sides at halftime as James Maddison scored the equaliser for the visitors. 

However, it was the second half that made the real difference with Son stealing the show. Son, who started on the bench, exploded back to form with three goals in 14 minutes. 

Such were the scenes at Tottenham that home fans were mocking Leicester City manager Brendon Rodgers and chanting 'you will be sacked in the morning'.

Meanwhile, after the win, Tottenham levelled with Manchester City with 17 points at the top of the Premier League points table. While Leicester remained at the bottom with one point from seven games.
