Tottenham Hotspur v Ajax - UEFA Champions League Semi Final: First Leg

His Premier League return of 2 goals in 36 appearances at Tottenham Hotspurs is even worse than the 6 goals in 46 games that Joselu has managed at Newcastle over the same two year period! However, the Spain international has proven to be a huge asset in the Champions League. He came off the bench to score in the round of 16 against Dortmund as well as scoring a memorable late goal against Manchester City to take Spurs through to the semi-final on away goals. With the club trailing 3-0 on aggregate at half time in the second leg, the 34-year-old emerged from the bench to play an important role as the North London side staged a remarkable comeback against Ajax. Despite failing to lift the trophy following a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in the final in Madrid, his starring role in the incredible journey to Spurs' first European Cup final in the Premier League era is easily worth the £14 million paid to Swansea for his services alone.
