Heung-min Son notched a goal and two assists in just 45 minutes as Tottenham dismantled a woeful Southampton 5-0 in the Premier League on Sunday.

The Spurs captain earned a perfect Flashscore player rating of 10 despite only playing half the game as he was substituted with rest in mind.

Son netted Spurs' second goal with a clinical finish through the legs of the goalkeeper which put his team 2-0 up inside 12 minutes at St Mary's.

He played in Pape Matar Sarr who prodded in Tottenham's fourth first-half goal before his searching pass set James Maddison free, who did the rest by finishing at an acute angle.

With Spurs incredibly 5-0 by the break, Son was withdrawn by Ange Postecoglou likely with an eye on Thursday's League Cup quarter-final at home to Manchester United.
