Pundit thinks £25m Spurs ace had his ‘second best game’ ever v Palace

Tottenham Hotspur winger Lucas Moura was “unplayable” on Boxing Day, according to Michael Bridges.

The Spurs ace scored a goal and delivered two assists as Spurs ran out 3-0 winners over Crystal Palace.

Lucas provided a low cross for Harry Kane to slam home in the 32nd minute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The £25million man then doubled the lead himself just two minutes later.

Lucas headed home Emerson Royal’s cross from close-range following another rapid Spurs attack.

Palace then went down to ten men due to Wilfried Zaha’s second yellow card for a push on Davinson Sanchez.

From then on, Spurs were in cruise control, and Lucas went on to provide another goal.

The 29-year-old crossed for Son Heung-min to make it three and wrap up all three points.

Bridges loved what he saw from Lucas and lauded him on Optus Sport.

“Moura, that is the second best game I’ve ever seen him have after the hat-trick against Ajax in the Champions League,” he said.

“Today (he was) unplayable.”

Lucas has obviously etched his name in Tottenham folklore thanks to his 2018-19 Champions League heroics.

Since then, he has struggled on occasion, but under Antonio Conte, he’s coming in leaps and bounds.
