Alongside the scrappiness, there were moments of delicateness and guile, seen through the 28-year-old’s flicks and tricks which oozed South American flair.
It was such a fantastic display, that Tottenham are still tweeting about it two days after Mike Dean sounded his whistle for full-time in the Midlands.
