Tottenham boss Nuno delighted with matchwinner Lucas: He did it fantastically

Tottenham boss Nuno was delighted with matchwinner Lucas Moura for victory over Carabao Cup opponents Burnley.

After a tense first-half, Spurs stepped up a gear around the hour mark, and chances followed - including Lucas' winner, a brilliant downward header from Emerson Royal's cross.

“The game required more movement in the spaces, to move the ball faster, to create the space and finish the actions, and we did it, we were much better in the second half," said Nuno.

"We mentioned at half-time, when you have a clear chance, try and take it.

"Lucas didn't do it in the first half, but he did it fantastically in the second half!"
