Lucas happy to end Spurs career with goal and win

Lucas Moura was happy to cap his Tottenham career with a goal in victory at Leeds.

Lucas is leaving Spurs as his contract expires.

"What a way to finish," he said. "Good performance, when I scored I was looking for this goal for a while. It has been a tough season and it was a very special day. I'm very, very happy to end in this way. One more special moment that I will keep in my heart.

"Personally [the season] was very hard because I didn't play a lot, I had a few problems with injuries and the team they struggled. We can do much, much better we know. But, yeah, what's done is done. Now it's time to recover. I'm sure they will do better in the next season.

"We need more consistency because I think we've had a very good squad in every season that I've played here, a quality squad. We had a few problems outside of the pitch but there are no words to explain. I think, like I said, the squad that we have, we could do much, much better. Now it's time to look for the next season.

"The Premier League is very difficult. There are a lot of teams who can arrive. It's very competitive but we can do better, we have a squad to do better, we have quality players to do better. But now it is not time to complain anymore."
