Heung-min Son was floating after his hat-trick in Tottenham's 6-2 thumping of Leicester City.

Son jumped from the bench to score a hat-trick for the win.

He later said, "It was a top performance and I was really frustrated as well. The way I play I can do much better than I have been. I have been disappointed, the team has been doing really, really good but I was disappointed with my performance.

"It was a tough game at 3-2 and you never know in the Premier League. I wanted to do my best for the team. I will always try to do that when I play. I tried to help the team on the bench. I'm glad we won the game before the international break.

"My finishing has been poor this season. I've also been a little bit unlucky with an own goal, two offside goals and hitting the crossbar. I knew goals were coming and I wasn't worried. I've always had great supporters, team-mates and coaches behind me.

"I like to shoot from outside the box - I've practiced that since I was a kid. Even now after training, if I have time, I try to practice from that position and hitting the top corner. I'm really glad the ball finally went in!

"I was pretty sure I was onside for the hat-trick! I'm glad I've been able to help the team, that is really important and I can go to national duty with renewed energy.

"I'm getting emotional [about the support] to be honest. There has been amazing support and I've always felt like I've disappointed my team-mates and fans with my performances. They have always been supporting me."
