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!
