Tottenham's Son Heung-min celebrates scoring their sixth goal and completing his hat trick

Tottenham Hotspur attacker Heung-min Son has struggled for consistency this season, scoring just seven times in 23 league matches, but his performance against Millwall in the FA Cup quarter-final suggests he is rediscovering his best form at the perfect time.

The South Korea international scored a hat-trick against the Lions, and while it would be easy to dismiss his efforts as nothing more than scoring against a third tier team, Son still needed to find the net and he did it with style.

With Harry Kane set for a spell on the side-lines, Tottenham need a striker to step up in his likely absence and Son could be that player.

While he has featured further back more often than not at White Hart Lane, he is a more than capable forward when required, as his previous spell in the Bundesliga proved.

Son burst back in fine fashion at the weekend and now Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will be hoping he carries that on both sides of the upcoming international break.
