Tottenham boss Pochettino delighted with 'fantastic' Lucas

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was delighted with super-sub Lucas Moura after their 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

Brought on in the 54th minute, the popular Brazilian ran straight to the box for a corner where he produced a prodigious leap over Kyle Walker to glance Erik Lamela's delivery beyond Ederson and home. From touchline to goal was timed at 19 seconds.

“That can happen!" smiled Pochettino. “That is about the game. If he's on the pitch, he can score.

"If not, he cannot score! It was fantastic that he scored with his first touch and helped the team. I'm very pleased for him. He has incredible spring. That's one of his qualities."
