Video: Tottenham's Erik Lamela scores Rabona goal in Europa League
Tottenham Hotspur forward Erik Lamela scored a breath-taking goal in the Europa League last night against Asteras Tripoli. The Premier League side went on to win 5-1.
The ball came to him outside the box, near the centre. But instead of controlling it or taking a direct shot, the Argentine footballer attempted a Rabona and succeeded, with the ball nestling into the corner of the net!
Even Jan Vertonghen couldn’t hide his disbelief at what he had just witnessed as Lamela wheeled away in celebration.
As White Hart Lane erupted, only one person seemed to look unimpressed by the goal. Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Here’s his reaction to the goal.
