Lucas Moura has been speaking to the press after a disappointing result against Brentford this afternoon, and a game which marked his final home appearance for Tottenham Hotspur.
It was a game of two halves at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this afternoon, as the home side dominated the first half before succumbing to a 3-1 defeat to Brentford in the second half.
Harry Kane got Spurs off to a great start with a sublime free-kick, taking his tally for the season to 30 goals (Transfermarkt).
However, Brentford came out flying in the second half, with Bryan Mbuemo turning the game on its head with two goals. Yoane Wissa then finished off the comeback for the away side in the dying embers of the match.
The fixture marked the final time Spurs fans will see Lucas Moura in North London, with the winger set to leave the club on a free transfer this summer.
Chatting to BT Sport (20/05/2023 at 12:00), Moura had this to say about his farewell: “I wanted to win my last game at our stadium, unfortunately it was not possible.
