Juventus 2-3 Tottenham: 5 Men who were brilliant for Spurs

#2 Lucas Moura

The Brazilian (L) helped Tottenham get back into the game

The Brazilian was one of the five changes at half time, after watching from the bench in the first half as Tottenham controlled the game. He looked bright as soon as he set foot on the field, as his pace and trickery caused Juventus quite a few problems.

Moura was busy as a bee in the field and threatened to score on a couple of occasions. He even set up Harry Kane early in the second half, with Tottenham’s lead still intact, however, the Englishman failed to score. Then when it looked like Juventus were running away with the game, Moura had his say.

Picking up a beautiful ball from new signing Tanguy Ndombele, the Brazilian moved easily past the Juventus defense and finished well to score. It was a goal that brought Tottenham back into the game, gave them momentum and ultimately helped them win the game.
