'Maybe we can repeat this experiment': Antonio Conte jokes that Son Heung-min could be benched again… following the Tottenham forward's devastating 14-minute hat-trick against Leicester

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has joked that Son Heung-min could start on the bench again after the successful 'experiment' saw him his score a 14-minute hat-trick against Leicester City.

The South Korean forward was dropped to the bench for the match against the Foxes as he had previously failed to find the next all season, but after coming on as a 59th minute substitute he quickly proved that he still has the quality to be a key player for Spurs this season.

The Italian manager then jokingly suggested that he could stay in the role due to the impact that he made in his post-match press conference.
