Son Heung-min and Harry Kane star as Spurs hammer Saints
Son Heung-min netted four goals as Tottenham secured their first Premier League victory of the season as they came from behind to win 5-2 at Southampton.
England skipper Harry Kane assisted all four goals before adding one of his own at the end.
Spurs fell behind to a Danny Ings goal, before Son starred.
The South Korean equalised just before half-time and then scored three after the break to claim his first Premier League hat-trick, with Kane getting on the scoresheet in the final 10 minutes.

A brace from Sadio Mane sealed Liverpool’s 2-0 victory at Chelsea after Andreas Christensen’s red card and Kepa Arrizabalaga’s howler.
Mane struck his first league goals of the season at Stamford Bridge as Liverpool capitalised on defender Christensen’s dismissal, easing their way to victory and handing a debut to new signing Thiago Alcantara.
Kepa then took too much time on the ball under pressure from Mane, who blocked his clearance before tapping into the empty net.
