Fans took to social media to celebrate Spurs star Heung-Min Son’s spectacular performance against Burnley. The manager, Ange Postecoglou, praised the striker, calling him an ‘outstanding’ leader and example for his peers. With his first goals and fifth Hattrick of the Premier League, Son has surpassed legend Ronaldo in terms of Premier League goals.

Earlier, when Ronaldo was in Juventus, the Koreon striker confessed in an interview with FourFourTwo that he watched many Portuguese videos on YouTube. He even termed the Portuguese forward as his football ‘Idol.’ Son has been inspired by Ronaldo’s professional career and approach towards the game.

As he scored his 104th Premier League, the Asian player has certainly left behind an appalling legacy in England. James Maddison’s electric performance and seamless adaptation to the club have contributed to a remarkable comeback for the Lilywhites. The English midfielder now wears the iconic number 10 jersey. Harry Kane, who once owned it, has lived up to expectations with his top form.
