Tottenham Hotspur boss Antonio Conte has praised Lucas Moura – but wants to see him score more goals like his screamer against Norwich City.
Tottenham hammered Norwich 3-0 on Sunday with Moura scoring a sensational opener.
After neat footwork and interplay with Son Heung-min, Moura smashed a long-range strike into the roof of the net.
That set Tottenham on their way to a 3-0 win. Davinson Sanchez and Son added goals to secure a convincing victory.
Moura has been in a decent form since Conte came in as Tottenham manager – and the Italian now wants more from him.
Conte comments on Moura after Tottenham win
Playing in a front three with Son Heung-min and Harry Kane, Moura is in great form.
The Brazilian impressed against Leeds United and Brentford, nailing down a spot in Conte’s Tottenham side.
Moura, earning £80k-a-week at Tottenham, now needs to turn in quality performances consistently.
That’s what Conte wants, making his demands clear after beating Norwich.
Conte told Football.London that Moura’s goal was ‘fantastic’ but he has to score more goals.
Conte added that he expects Moura to score more goals like his strike against Norwich, laying down the gauntlet.
“He scored a fantastic goal but he has the quality to score more goals and he has to score more goals. It is my expectation to see more goals like this from him,” said Conte.
