Tottenham thrashed Burnley 5-0 in Saturday's Premier League clash to move up to fifth place, Son Heung-min scoring the pick of the goals.
Match Report
Son Heung-min scored a goal of the season contender as Tottenham returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a convincing 5-0 home victory against Burnley.
Tottenham suffered a first defeat under Jose Mourinho in midweek when going down 2-1 to Manchester United, but they turned on the style in Saturday's clash to climb up to fifth.
Mourinho's men were two goals ahead inside nine minutes, with Harry Kane opening the scoring from 25 yards out before Lucas Moura added a second from far closer range.
Son then scored a remarkable third goal by carrying the ball some 90 yards and slotting home, while Kane doubled his tally and Moussa Sissoko joined the scoring in an equally one-sided second half.

Match Events
4' GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Burnley (Kane)
Kane opens the scoring for Spurs inside five minutes! Son lays it off for the striker and he's allowed to advance unchallenged into the final third as the Clarets' back line drops off, before unleashing a fierce strike from distance that beats Pope!
9' GOAL! Tottenham 2-0 Burnley (Lucas)
It's a howler from Burnley at the back as Son beats both centre-backs before forcing a save from Pope. However, the ball deflects off Alli and sits up at the back post for Lucas to charge in and poke into an empty net! That was appalling defensively from the visitors.
15' CLOSE! Sissoko hits the post
Sissoko is slipped into acres of space inside the box by Son and beats Pope but sees his dinked effort ping back off the face of the near post! Burnley look like conceding every time Spurs attack!
21' CLOSE! Brady hits the post
Brady is found at the back post and heads back across goal. It beats Gazzaniga but clips the bar and falls to Wood, who heads for goal but finds Sanchez in the way! Burnley, against the run of play, were inches away from pulling one back!
32' GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Burnley (Son)
The South Korean picks the ball up just outside his own box and sprints through the middle of the pitch all the way to the Burnley penalty spot before curling past an onrushing Pope! It's an outstanding individual goal for Son, but Burnley had to do far better defensively there.
54' GOAL! Tottenham 4-0 Burnley (Kane)
GOAL!! Kane makes it 4-0 to Tottenham! He drives into the box after taking the ball off Alli and cuts inside Tarkowski before blasting a shot high into the net at the near post! Burnley are all over the place at the back.
74' GOAL! Tottenham 5-0 Burnley (Sissoko)
GOAL! Sissoko makes it five! The midfielder surges upfield on the left and plays a one-two with Kane as he gets into the box before poking a shot past Pope! It's 5-0 to Spurs now!

Best match of the season so far from Spurs. Things we learned: 1-Son loves scoring messi-like goals like the one against Chelsea some time ago 2-Kane is still as deadly as he always has been despite his sluggish start of the season, those strike were not the kind that any n9 could pull off. 3-Sissoko has transformed under mourinho I mean do u used to see the kind of floppy kicks he had and suddenly he is scoring 2 goals in 3 matches with fair finishes 4-everyone knows this already but Dele Alli is on fire now all those who said his Fifa 20 rating and selling price were too much u have ur answer now. 5-Spurs are definitely finishing in the top 4 if they can be consistent enough hint on Chelsea's recent form. What else can I say brilliant display, utter dominance and welcome once more Mourinho.

Son is the most underrated player in the premier league, if he was on Man united or even Liverpool the English media could be suckling his fingernails by now
