Tottenham’s Heung-min Son had a day to remember on Sunday as Spurs swept Southampton away in a 5-2 win.
The South Korean international scored four goals, joining a very exclusive list of players who’ve netted four times in a Premier League.
Overall, only 28 players have ever managed the feat in the Premier League including the player who assisted all of Son’s four goals, Harry Kane.
Kane found the back of the net four times in Spurs’ 7-1 win over Leicester City in 2017.
On the list, only Man City striker, Sergio Aguero; Liverpool’s Georginio Wijnaldum, Salah; Tottenham’s Kane and Son and Michail Antonio of West Ham are still actively playing in the Premier League.
Former Man Utd striker, Romelu Lukaku didn’t bag four while at the Red Devils but he went on a scoring spree for Everton in 2017.
Two current Premier League managers are also on the list; Chelsea’s Frank Lampard and Man Utd’s Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
