ERIK LAMELA’S SUPERB first Premier League goal earned Tottenham a 2-1 win over Burnley in an entertaining encounter at White Hart Lane.
The Argentinian, who arrived for a club-record fee from Roma prior to the 2013-14 campaign, had previously gone 25 league appearances without finding the net for Spurs, but he broke his duck in fine style on Saturday.
Lamela produced a sublime curling finish from 25 yards to net the winner in the 35th minute, after a strike of similar quality from Ashley Barnes had cancelled out Harry Kane’s header.

Kane met Nacer Chadli’s pinpoint delivery midway through the first half – his 14th goal of the season in all competitions and third in as many matches.

Barnes netted the winner in Burnley’s 1-0 victory over Southampton last weekend and, although there was a slice of fortune about that strike, there was nothing lucky about his third Premier League goal as he hit a magnificent effort into the top corner from just outside the area.

That goal was outshone by Lamela’s effort, however, as Spurs completed a successful seven days, having defeated Swansea City last weekend and progressed to the semi-finals of the League Cup with a 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle United on Wednesday.
What would Calderon know ? . He said Zidane had rejected the offer last week ! Absolute chancer !
Zidane was blessed to have Ronaldo while manager. 99% of game’s were won by him alone over that 3 year success. Zidane won’t know how to rebuild that team to same nights. He needs to sort the Courtouis and wife issue first. Very messy and and unsightly affair all together. Zidane is a legend, Madrid are a toxic club.
@Virgil Van Rock: yawn … see you May 2020 ya mouth !
@Limón Madrugada: Watch out for the parasite Limon
@Limón Madrugada: surely you can get a room before then
@David Weston: surely you’ll find a better one liner by then
@Limón Madrugada: for you pair ?Nah that one is about right
@Limón Madrugada: Point proven Ronaldo drags Juve into last 8, just like last 3 year’s with Real, don’t know what the other guy is chomping at the bit for, parasite ??
@Virgil Van Rock: no ones denying Ronaldos effect . But your clinging to Courtois’ love life is tenuous . Maybe Liverpool should sign Ronaldo ..
@Virgil Van Rock: just wondering when you’ll change your identity , when Liverpool win … or when they lose … either way you’ll be someone else by next month
@Limón Madrugada: Lemon seriously would you Kop on you imbecile
100% spot on to not bring him. Legendary manager but think his time at the top is over the game has passed him by IMO. Be interesting to see him try and win a world cup with Portugal.
@Drew Walsh: Mourinho is a great manager for a tournament . But I think it’s not just a coincidence that why I try to type his name my spellcheck insists on correcting to ‘ mourning’
Would’ve been fun to see him there again
Who’d want to manage a guy like Ramos who cost his own team by cheating
@Martin Brennan: you do mean Sergio Ramos who has 4CL , 3 or 4 ligas , two euros , 1 World Cup 3 world club championships a couple of Copa del Reys ?? Nah he’s a loser
@Limón Madrugada: a drug cheating loser
@Getard Lanslanger: who happens to have loads of medals and no history of drugs , unlike for example Pep Guardiola …
Jose won’t get a massive job like that again. A talented manager but one who’s ego outgrew the talent, and ended up becoming an insufferable bore
