The Tottenham Hotspur winger impressed when he came off the bench.
Tottenham Hotspur’s 5-1 win against Stoke City on Saturday proved what Mauricio Pochettino’s side can do when everything clicks, and there was another positive in the return to form of Argentine international Erik Lamela.
The winger had been side-lined for 13 months but he returned last month against Leicester City and he has now featured three times in the league this season.
Lamela’s latest outing was his best yet and, on another day, he could have easily got on the score sheet to mark his return to form in the best possible way.
Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino will want all his first-team stars fit and firing for the challenges ahead, with plenty to play for in the second half of the campaign, and you can rest assured that Lamela will have a vital role in that regard.
The 25-year-old managed 23 minutes on Saturday and it looked like he had never been away, with both him and Mousa Dembele suggesting Tottenham will have two fresh players for the festive fixtures.
