“Not enough credit goes to this man” – A lot of Tottenham Hotspur fans are lauding the display of Erik Lamela in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Manchester City on Saturday.
Lamela has started both of Tottenham’s opening games – and he seems to be taking his excellent pre-season form into the Premier League.
The Argentine scored one and assisted one against City in an assured display from the former Roma man.
Lamela’s goal was a curling strike from outside of the box, Ederson probably should have dealt with it better, but that did not bother the 27-year-old who was happy to except the Brazilian’s gift.
The Argentine then provided a fantastic corner that was met by the head of Lucas Moura – who glanced a superb header into the back of the net.
One of Spurs’ star players Heung Min Son was banned for the two opening games – and in his place, Lamela has performed well.
Many Tottenham fans are delighted with Lamela’s performance.

Other Tottenham fans while pleased for their Argentine are laughing at Ederson’s positioning – and the fact he handed them a goal.
