Korean striker Son Hung-min scored four goals while winning Tottenham 5-2 in Southampton. Harry Kane scored all the goals, becoming the sixth player in Premier League history and the first Englishman with four assists in one match. In addition, the two-time best scorer of the competition himself added the final goal of the winners.
Probably the key moment of the hit on Stamford Bridge came at the end of the first half. The lone Mané took over the ball and defended it for Christensen, who tried to get it back. A red card followed and Chelsea finished the second half in a weakening. The Danish stopper was eliminated in the matches of these two opponents as the first player since the February duel in 2009, when the current coach of the “Blues” Frank Lampard went into the show prematurely.
Liverpool coach Jürgen Klopp sent a fresh reinforcement to Thiag Alcantara to the second half, and the defending champions used the power play in a flash. In the 50th minute, Mané was at the end of a handsome combination and his head was not wrong. Four minutes later, the Senegalese gunner caught the passing of the missing goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalagy and cleared the ball into an empty goal.
A quarter of an hour before the end, Jorginho could have dramatized the match, but the penalty kick was caught by the Alisson goalkeeper. The “Reds” also won the second match of the new league season. Chelsea, on the other hand, did not follow in the opening victory in Brighton.
The first Korean hat-trick and an extra shot
Southampton sent Danny Ings into the lead, but Son Hung-min took over at the set time of the first half, who ran onto Kane’s pass for defense and scored Alex Goarthy’s goalkeeper from a slight angle. Shortly after the change of sides, he added another hit and in the 64th minute he completed the first Korean in the history of the English league with a hat-trick.

In the 74th minute, Son Hung-min added a fourth shot, all of which were almost identical – Kane sent a pass from the depths of the field for defense and the Korean striker managed himself in front of McCarthy. For the first time in the Premier League, one player assisted another in four goals in one match. In the end, he hit Kane and on the other hand from the penalty for the second time Ings.
Coach of the “Roosters” José Mourinho has not yet put fresh reinforcements from Real Madrid Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon into the match, but Tottenham partially corrected the defeat from the opening round. Southampton is still waiting for the first points in the new season.
Burnley held a tie against the favored Leicester after the first half, but “Foxes” broke the match shortly after the break. First, the alternate Erik Pieters unfortunate knocked the center into his own goal and increased the score after an hour of play with his first goal in the Premier League James Justin.
Vydra took the lead in the 70th minute with the score 1: 3 in the attack of Jay Rodriguez, but he did not get into any serious chances. Both teams added after the goal in the end and Leicester remains 100% after two matches. It was Burnley’s first game of the year.
