Premier League 2018-19: Top 5 super-subs in this season

#4 Eric Lamela

Wolverhampton Wanderers v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League

Goals scored as sub- 2

Eric Lamela's first appearance in the Premier League this season was in the home win against Fulham, where he came off the bench in the 17th minute and picked up an assist. His next involvement was from the bench again, when he came on against Liverpool in the 60th minute and scored in the 93rd minute as Spurs lost 1-2.

Against Brighton in the following game, the Argentine started from the bench once more and in the 68th minute, came on to replace Son Heung-min, with the score 1-0. 8 minutes later, Lamela had scored his second goal of the season and increased Tottenham's lead. Brighton rallied late to get a goal back in the 93rd minute, but Spurs held on, which meant that Lamela's goal had secured 3 points. Lamela came off the bench against Cardiff next, but did not find the back of the net. But he had done enough to earn his manager's trust, who reinstated the Argentine in the starting line up since then and Lamela has responded by scoring 2 goals in the last 3 games.
