New Spurs skipper Son started down the middle for Spurs' 5-2 win over Burnley on Saturday. Despite falling behind to an early Lyle Foster strike, Tottenham dominated and Son spearheaded an impressive performance from Postecoglou's side, helping himself to a hat-trick. Son equalised with an excellent curling effort, before Cristian Romero completed the turnaround just before half-time. Spurs added three more goals after the break with James Maddison getting in on the act as Son scored two more to complete his hat-trick. Son's third was a trademark finish after he ran in behind the Burnley back-line before finishing low beyond James Trafford. Josh Brownhill scored late on for Burnley, but Tottenham continued their unbeaten start to the season with a third win from four Premier League matches. Certainly, Postecoglou was pleased with Son's display after the match. When asked about Son's performance, Postecoglou said: "One of the reasons we didn't buy (a number nine) is that Sonny, central or wide, has all the characteristics to play in any system. "I have a picture in my head of what want the team to look like and we are still building. There is lots to be done." Spurs lost Kane to Bayern Munich on the eve of their Premier League opener at Brentford last month. Kane, who scored 30 top-flight goals last season, made the £86.4million move to the Allianz Arena as he swapped north London for Bavaria. However, Spurs have now won their last three matches after drawing against Brentford on opening day, beating Manchester United, Bournemouth and now Burnley. Spurs also have Brennan Johnson to come into the squad following his Deadline Day swoop from Nottingham Forest. Johnson, 22, joined in a deal){kind=link}
