Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Son Heung-min’s hat-trick was his second in the Premier League, having netted four goals in a 5-2 win at Southampton in September 2020<\/p>\n

Son Heung-min’s hat-trick kept Tottenham’s Premier League top-four destiny in their own hands as Spurs produced a masterclass in clinical finishing to thrash Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

After the South Korea striker steered the visitors into an early lead, Spurs withstood a Villa onslaught to remain ahead at the interval with veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris making a string of superb saves.<\/p>\n

But they cruised to victory with a breathtaking, counter-attacking second-half performance as Son swept home two more fine finishes, either side of an equally elegant strike from Dejan Kulusevski.<\/p>\n

A fourth-successive win moved Antonio Conte’s side three points above north London rivals Arsenal – beaten at home by Brighton earlier on Saturday – in the race for the fourth Champions League spot.<\/p>\n

Villa, meanwhile, were left to reflect on a fourth-straight defeat, despite dominating long spells of the first half, as returning striker Danny Ings wasted two glorious chances to bring them level.<\/p>\n

Follow reaction to Aston Villa v Tottenham and Saturday’s other Premier League matches<\/p>\n

Son shines – but he’s far from alone for Spurs<\/p>\n

While the scoreline failed to reflect the overall balance of play – or chances created – in the West Midlands, it was Spurs who possessed the difference-making individual talents.<\/p>\n

Chief among them, of course, was Son, who seemingly never ceases to amaze – his first and third goals beautifully struck first-time efforts that both went in off the post, with a composed one-on-one finish to beat Emi Martinez in between.<\/p>\n

On-loan Juventus midfielder Kulusevski again impressed, teeing up Son for his hat-trick after firing an accurate finish through the legs of Tyrone Mings and past Martinez to put the result beyond doubt.<\/p>\n

Dejan Kulusevski’s goal was his third in 11 league games since joining Spurs on loan from Juventus in January<\/p>\n

Harry Kane took a back seat but was still involved in three of the goals, flicking on headers in the build-up to two, but Lloris was arguably Spurs’ stand-out performer.<\/p>\n

The France goalkeeper made excellent first-half stops to thwart Jacob Ramsey’s solo run and shot, John McGinn’s 25-yard thunderbolt and Philippe Coutinho’s cheeky near-post free-kick.<\/p>\n

Only three weeks ago, Spurs sat eighth, six points off fourth place – a position they now proudly hold, even if Arsenal do have a game in hand.<\/p>\n

Tottenham, though, have a superior goal difference – boosted by this win – and an easier run-in on paper with Brighton, Brentford, Burnley and Norwich among their final seven opponents, while Arsenal meet Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham among their next four.<\/p>\n

Ings’ day to forget as Villa’s Spurs curse strikes again<\/p>\n

Tottenham are very much becoming Villa’s bogey side – they have won 14 of the past 18 Premier League meetings between the sides and this was their seventh-straight success at Villa Park.<\/p>\n

Despite Son’s early opener, it did not look like ending that way for the majority of the first half though as Villa laid siege to the visitors’ goal.<\/p>\n

While Lloris deserves the plaudits for his impressive display, the hosts were also guilty of profligate finishing, with Ings – still yet to truly find his feet at Villa with just five goals since his \u00a325m summer move from Southampton – the chief culprit.<\/p>\n

Twice he was afforded excellent chances on the volley – one from a dinked Coutinho set-piece and then an Ollie Watkins flick-on – but he scuffed both, one straight at Lloris and the other badly wide.<\/p>\n

Watkins also sent a free header over from six yards as Steven Gerrard suffered his heaviest defeat as Villa boss.<\/p>\n
