Son Heung-Min scored a hat-trick for South Korea as they thrashed Laos 9-0 on Thursday morning.
Spurs’ new signing netted in the 12th, 74th and 90th minute as Uli Stielike’s side continued their assault towards World Cup qualification with the thrashing of the Asian minnows.
The hat-trick leaves Son as Asia’s top goalscorer on the route to Russia after netting in his side’s opening game 2-0 win over Myanmar also.
Korea remain heavy favourites to qualify for the 2018’s finals and lie top of Group G, which is also occupied by Lebanon and Kuwait.
Later in the weekend, as many as thirteen more first-team players will be in action across the globe.
Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld and Nacer Chadli have all been called-up by Belgium, whilst Hugo Lloris and Christian Eriksen are involved with France and Denmark respectively.
Elsewhere in Europe, Harry Kane and Ryan Mason are included in Roy Hodgson’s England squad, in addition to Ben Davies and Kevin Wimmer being called-up for Wales and Austria respectively.
Out-of-favour attacker Erik Lamela is included in Argentina’s squad, whilst in Africa, Nabil Bentaleb will represent Algeria.
There is no place in Cameroon’s squad for another new signing, Clinton Njie, however, as the striker remains unfit.
