Tottenham boss Postecoglou hails leadership group for victory at Burnley

Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou was eager to highlight their leadership group after victory at Burnley.

Captain Heung-min Son struck a hat-trick for the 5-2 win, with Cristian Romero and James Maddison also scoring.

Postecoglou said: “Sonny, Madders and Romero all scored and I'm really pleased for those three because I've kind of thrust them into that leadership position, it's not always easy, but they've been outstanding not just on game day, but every day with their actions and words, really inspiring the rest of the guys and driving them forward.

“It was brilliant for all three.

"They are all outstanding players but more importantly now, they've become leaders for us and we're going to need it."
