Heung-Min Son, James Maddison, and Cuti Romero scored the goals in our impressive 5-2 victory at Burnley on Saturday, and Ange Postecoglou lauded their contributions on and off the pitch.
Vice-captains Madders and Cuti added excellent goals as we rallied from behind to run out comfortable winners. Skipper Sonny set the tone with his seventh hat-trick for the club.
In fact, the first three goals were well scored. Sonny leveled Lyle Foster’s early opener with a clever flick over James Trafford, Cuti curled in and out into the top corner from 20 yards just before half-time and Madders struck from 22 yards to make it 3-1 inside 10 minutes. for the second half. Sonny then scored a clinical hat-trick from passes from Manor Solomon and Pedro Porro.
Ange appointed Sonny captain, Madders and Cut vice-captains before our season opener at Brentford and was impressed with how they stepped up.
He said: “Sonny, Madders and Romero all scored and I’m really happy for the three of them because I led them a bit. It’s not always easy but they were outstanding not only on match day but every day of their day. actions and words inspire others boys and pushes them forward. “It’s been great for all three of them. They’re all great players, but more importantly, they’ve become leaders for us and we need that.”
