Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City both win while AFC Bournemouth draw at Newcastle.
James Maddison equalised just before the break only for Rodrigo Bentancur to put Spurs ahead again.
Son was introduced on the hour mark and claimed a 14-minute hat-trick, which included two fantastic goals to seal an impressive win as Premier League clubs, players, managers and fans continued to come together to give their respects to Her Majesty The Queen.
An incredible display from substitute Son Heung-min helped Tottenham Hotspur come from behind to defeat struggling Leicester City, a result which moves them level on points with Manchester City at the top of the table.
Youri Tielemans had put the Foxes ahead on six minutes from the penalty spot but Spurs responded through headers from Harry Kane and Eric Dier.
The South Korean is the first Spurs player to score a hat-trick in the Premier League as a substitute, and the first in the competition since Steven Naismith against Chelsea in September 2015.

Alexander Isak scored his first goal at St James’ Park to rescue a point for Newcastle United against a spirited AFC Bournemouth.
Philip Billing poked home on 62 minutes to put the Cherries ahead but only five minutes later, Isak fired home from the penalty spot after Jefferson Lerma was adjudged to have handled inside the area.
AFC Bournemouth, unbeaten in three matches under Gary O’Neil, move up to 12th place on eight points, the same as Newcastle in 10th.
