“He’s like a new signing” – Some Spurs fans react to midfielder’s performance at Newcastle

Tottenham Hotspur fans were left singing the praises of Lucas Moura after his performance in the 2-1 win at Newcastle United.

The Brazilian was named in Mauricio Pochettino’s starting line-up for the Premier League opener at St James’ Park and after hardly featuring last season following his switch from PSG, showed his quality with some neat touches.

Leading 2-1, Moura was replaced in the 68th minute by Mousa Dembele in a decision by Pochettino to try and protect the lead, following goals from Jan Vertonghen and Dele Alli.

Lucas was impressive during Tottenham’s pre-season tour of the USA, scoring two goals against AS Roma and has left the Spurs faithful excited about the impact he could have in the team this season.

Here’s a selection of reaction from some of your fellow fans.
