at it it was perhaps more than they deserved. but this was now becoming something special. son put through again and his hat—trick was inevitable. a brilliant performance by him and harry kane whose cross set up yet another. son running out of fingers to count them on, that was his fourth. with spurs firmly in control, he eventually let someone else have a go. kane adding another. 5—2 the final score. so who needs bale in the sun, when you have son to bail you out? so four goals for the first time in his career, son heung—min got the match ball, but manager jose mourinho had his own ideas about who should get man of the match. man of the match, harry kane. laughter yeah, i will say that. if it comes from the boss you can't argue, can you? i would say harry is the man of the match because he scored
