Three reasons why Lucas Moura will finally earn his Spurs this season

Brazilian star ready to shine for Tottenham

All the post-match talk was surrounding Jose Mourinho after Manchester United’s 3-0 defeat to Tottenham at Old Trafford last night.

Mourinho’s ‘respect’ rant appeared to be a retort of a man losing his patience.

On another day, in another story-line, United could have been one or two goals up at half-time, but were pulled apart more by their own doing than Spurs’ magic play.

Harry Kane had given the North Londoners the lead but it was a nippy Brazilian forward who would steal the show on the pitch.

Lucas Moura stepped out of the shadows to deliver two fatal blows to the Red Devils and The Coral News Team look at what his resurgence can mean for Spurs…

A full second season                                               

Lucas came into the club mid-way through a hectic Premier League campaign. Spurs had swept European powerhouses Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund aside before the Brazilian came in. The form of winger Son Heung-Min was vital to this swash-buckling style.

It was abundantly clear Spurs needed to bolster their squad for a tough second half of the season ahead.  But to get in ahead of Harry Kane or Dele Alli was near  impossible.
