Tottenham fans react to attacker’s performance: ‘We may have found ourselves a gem’ – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham were held to a 2-2 draw against Rochdale in the FA Cup last night.
Rochdale took the lead when Henderson scored in the 45th minute. Tottenham hit back at the hour mark through Lucas Moura.
Harry Kane’s late goal looked to have secured Tottenham’s place in the next round of the competition but Steve Davies scored in injury time to earn a replay for the League One side.
Rochdale will now travel to Wembley for their replay. Although Spurs are firm favourites to secure their place in the Quarterfinals, the League One side cannot be underestimated now.
Tottenham winger Lucas Moura had a night to remember and the fans will be very optimistic about his future at the club now.
The Brazilian arrived from PSG in January and he will be delighted with the promising start to his Tottenham career. The technically gifted winger managed to score on his debut. Moura’s intensity and hard work also impressed the Tottenham fans.

It appears we may have found ourselves a gem in Lucas Moura.
A winger with pace and the ability to go past players with ease.
Reminiscent to Lennon with the ability to gets fans off their seat but crucial of all an end product to go with it.#THFC #COYSpic.twitter.com/NOvzy17QtU

Only 2 positives for me are seeing glimpses of real quality and potential from Lucas Moura and Juan Foyth. #THFC #COYS #ROCTOT

Lucas Moura’s arrival now gives Tottenham a Plan B, actually, he could be Plan A.
Electric pace, direct, not to shabby in the air, and more than ready to play his part defensively !!#LooksAnAbsoluteSteal

Lucas Moura looks like he is going to be a real asset to the squad. Finally a player who can take on a defender. Could be vital in the run in to the end of the season.
