Europa league is
never the most exciting of tournaments unless your own team is involved.
However, Erik Lamela and Harry Kane tonight showed us how entertaining
individual players can make it.
With two
wonderfully executed goals, Erik Lamela managed to ignite this game for
everyone. The Robana, a technique that can be executed by the worlds best and
should only be attempted at your own risk. Lamela's new installed confidence
under Pochettino enabled him to not only attempt a Robana but also
fantastically execute one from outside of the eighteen-yard box and it
absolutely flew into the top corner, leaving the keeper stranded. A Robana that
even David Dunn has to admire. As if he hadn’t produced enough, he also managed
to latch on to his blocked shot, riffling home a volley from an extremely
difficult angle.
Harry Kane's
Hat-rick would probably have been over shadowed slightly by Lamela's world-class
strikes but when Hugo Lloris was sent off in the 87th minute and he decided to
take the gloves, he may just have snatched some of that limelight back. After
scoring a Hat-rick, Harry Kane felt so confident that his hand was first up to
replace Lloris' goalkeeping talents, much to the delight of the Spurs fans.
Kane managed to get all of his body behind the ball from the Free Kick that
Lloris gave away, only to be spilled into the back of the net.
The game ended 5-1
but the result isn’t really what mattered to anyone, it was the talents of Kane
and Lamela, which really caught the eye.
