Lucas Moura scored what proved to be a decisive equaliser for Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend.

His goal against Manchester City earned Spurs a draw, thanks to the home side’s late winner being chalked off due to VAR.

Like back in the Champions League final, Moura was unlucky to be on the bench.

His remarkable record in big games makes this a decision Spurs should give serious thought to.

In the past 12 months, Lucas Moura has scored in games against Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City, Barcelona, and a stunning hat-trick against Ajax.

He is a player for the big occasion, and his instant impact against City proved that.

This is a season where Lucas has the potential to go and become one of the Premier League’s elite players.

To do so he needs to push towards the 20 goal mark, which won’t be easy if he is not a regular starter, but he’s certainly capable.

One thing missing from his array of big game goals is a strike in the North London derby.

The game against Arsenal at the end of the month is a great opportunity for him to correct that, and really it’d be naïve to bet against him.
