Full Time: Tottenham Hotspur 6-2 Leicester City
Heung-Min Son is back.
Son, who came off the bench in the 59th minute, scored a hat-trick, curling two shots from outside the box before his third goal which was initially offside but after VAR checks was finally awarded for Son's third.
This victory lifted Spurs to second place in the standings behind Manchester City on goal difference. Spurs will then travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal in the 9th round of the Premier League.
My bet on this match was for Tottenham to win. However, I did not expect Tottenham to win 6-2. The first half of the month was very competitive. The first half ended in a 2-2 draw. I thought the second half would also be competitive. But at the beginning of the second half, Rodrigo's goal led to Tottenham. After that, both teams attacked a lot. Leicester's players tried their best to score. But Tottenham's goalkeeper Lloris successfully blocked every shot. After 70 minutes Heung Min son is becoming completely unstopable. He scored three goals in a row. As a result, Tottenham won by a huge margin of 6-2
