That's 'Son-sational'.<br />That's what Tottenham Hotspur forward Son Heung-min delivered Sunday against Southampton during an English Premier League match.<br />After leveling the match at one-a-piece with his late first half goal,...<br />the South Korean went on to score three more times in the second half to lead Tottenham to a 5-2 victory.<br />Thanks to his scoring blitz,... the South Korean international now leads the EPL in goals this season,... after just two league matches.<br />With his teammate Harry Kane assisting Son for all four of his goals,... Kane also leads the league in assists.<br />Son's performance is a career highlight... and also makes him just the second Asian footballer to score a hattrick since Manchester United's Shinji Kagawa in 2013.<br />Last season,... Son set a career high with 11 goals and 10 assists in the EPL,... as well as 18 goals and 12 assists in all competitions.<br />However,... with the South Korean currently at the peak of his career,... he's well on pace to shatter that record,... but most importantly,... help his team win some silverware this season.<br />Lee Seung-jae, Arirang News. <br />
