Spurs boss Pochettino explains not celebrating Lamela wonder goal: I only get excited in bed!

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has explained his low-key reaction Erik Lamela's wonder goal last week.

Lamela scored one of the goals of the year in the 5-1 win over Asteras Tripolis, with a 20-yard rabona that left the opposing keeper rooted to the spot.

Sitting on the bench however, Pochettino remained unmoved to a goal that Lamela himself has called his best ever.

And justifying his stance, Pochettino joked: "I just show emotion in my house, in my bed.

"Once I made a goal in my career; if you look on YouTube!"

Pochettino did declare his overriding impression of the goal however, stating: "It was a great goal, probably one of the best I've seen."
