Son Heung-min scored four goals set up by Harry Kane as Tottenham Hotspur came from a goal down to overwhelm Southampton 5-2 on Sunday and earn Jose Mourinho's first Premier League win of the season.

Kane provided 4 assists for Son and later grabbed one himself to make it 5 in a 7 goal thriller match at the saints' turf.

In an action-packed first half at St Mary's, both sides had a goal ruled out by VAR before Danny Ings finished well from a tight angle in the 32nd minute to put Southampton ahead.

In the match, Kane dropped behind Son and draws out the defenders and Son timed his run almost perfectly to score 4 goals in the same fashion.

The hosts deserved their lead and had chances to add a second before Son, with Spurs' first shot at goal, latching onto a fine first-time pass from Kane before equalising in first-half stoppage time.

The combination of Kane-Son unlocked the hosts two minutes after the break, with Son taking advantage of a high Saints defensive line before racing clear to score.

Son's first Premier League hat-trick was completed in the 64th minute before Kane set him up again to complete a memorable afternoon with another clinical finish 17 minutes from time.

Kane himself completed the rout with a close-range finish before Ings grabbed a late Southampton consolation from the penalty spot
