Heung-min scores a goal Before Cristian Romero gave Spurs the lead just before halftime with his second goal of the year, Son evened the score.

 

Spurs really put the pressure on the home team in the second half. James Maddison scored a beautiful goal, and then Son added two more to complete his hat-trick.

In the Premier League game between Burnley FC and Tottenham Hotspur at Turf Moor on September 02, 2023 in Burnley, England, Tottenham Hotspur’s Heung-Min Son celebrates with teammate James Maddison after scoring the team’s fourth goal.

Postecoglou is happy with the leaders in his squad

The three goal scorers received accolades from their manager during the post-game press conference, with Postecoglou expressing his satisfaction with the players he has given further responsibility to.

“I thought today was a real testament to Sonny, Madders, and Romero,” he said when interviewed. They all made goals, but I put those three in charge, and I’m so proud of how they’ve accepted that role with words and deeds, not just on game days but every day, and that’s as inspiring to me as anything. Even though they are all excellent players individually, they have all embraced the team attitude.

 

What a performance by the entire club, but it’s doubly special since three of the players Postecoglou selected for his leadership group came up with the goals.

It demonstrates, in my opinion, how firmly those players believe in what Ange demands of them because of the extraordinary level of performance on display today.
