SON HEUNG-MIN’S HAT TRICK AFTER A SLUMP

[SEPTEMBER 2022]

Heung-min Son makes a comeback with a stunning second-half hat trick. Antonio Conte emphasized the importance of rotation to Tottenham’s challenge on all fronts after substitute Heung-min Son’s hat trick. In the league’s home game against Leicester City, Son Heung-min scored his first goal of the season with a right-footed mid-range shot in the 28th minute of the second half and scored his third goal with a right-footed shot in the 39th minute of the second half. He made a hat trick in 14 minutes using his best advantage, his ability to hit a firm shot regardless of his left or right foot. Son Heung-min, who was silent during the opening eight games this season, scored in the league four months after the league’s final last match. With Son Heung-min’s hat trick, Tottenham won 6-2 and continued its unbeaten streak in seven league games.
