Tottenham Hotspur 6-0 Millwall : A Son Heung-Min hat-trick finishes The Lions

SunSport reported how the 25-year-old was the subject of taunts from Millwall fans as he scored three times to put his team on course for a place in the semi-finals of the FA Cup last season.

South Korean star Son was subjected to idiotic chants every time he touched the ball from fans of the League One club.

But he silenced the abuse in the best way possible with a brilliant goal on the way to a hat-trick that helped Spurs to a comfortable 6-0 win at White Hart Lane.
