Aston Villa 0-4 Tottenham LIVE! Premier League result, match stream and latest updates today

Aston Villa vs Tottenham - LIVE!

Heung-min Son struck a superbly taken hat-trick as Tottenham Hotspur took a grip on fourth place, cruising to a 4-0 win at Aston Villa in the Premier League.

With Arsenal losing earlier on Saturday, Spurs have a three point lead over their North London rivals, though the Gunners have played one game less.

South Korean Son fired Spurs ahead in the third minute when a blocked shot from Harry Kane fell to him on the edge of the box and his first time, left-foot, shot flew in off the inside of the post.

Villa then had a host of chances to get level but a combination of wasteful finishing and inspired goalkeeping from Hugo Lloris ensured Spurs went in with the lead at the break.

Kane then created the second for Spurs in the 50th minute, flicking on a long ball into the path of Dejan Kulusevski who burst into the box and beat Emiliano Martinez with a low shot.

There was a similar pattern to the third goal with Kane cleverly flicking on another long pass right into the stride of Son who ran goalwards before providing a clinical finish to make sure of a fourth win in a row for Spurs.

Son completed his hat-trick when, from the right flank, he found Kulusevski inside and the Swedish forward unselfishly returned the pass to the South Korean who drilled home off the post.
