'I'm getting emotional... I've always felt like I've disappointed my team-mates and fans with my performances': Son Heung-min thanks Tottenham fans for their patience... as South Korean star is happy 'the ball FINALLY went in' to end his goal drought

A frustrated Son Heung-min was glad to respond to being dropped with a sensational hat-trick to help Tottenham hammer Leicester 6-2.

Last season's joint-top goalscorer in the Premier League had started the campaign with no goals from his first eight matches in all competitions and it saw him named among the substitutes for the visit of the struggling Foxes.

After watching Harry Kane, Eric Dier and Rodrigo Bentancur net during the opening 47 minutes, Son got the chance to get in on the act and responded with two stunning strikes before he completed his hat-trick late on when VAR ruled he was onside.
