ICC 2018: AS Roma 1-4 Tottenham Hotspur: 5 talking points 

#3 Lucas Moura packs a punch

Moura was a shining light for Spurs

Since arriving in the January transfer window, Lucas Moura has failed to have much of an impact on the proceedings. But with a full pre-season under his belt, this season could be a defining one for the Brazilian.

Moura is certainly on the right track as he was arguably the star performer in today's clash. The Brazilian was at the heart of everything good that Spurs did in the first half and was given plenty of time to strut his stuff on the field, coming off only in the 82nd minute.

Perhaps Pochettino was delighted by his performance, harrying Roma's defenders and surprisingly, dominating in the air despite his diminutive stature. The best part of his game today was the intelligent use of his pace. He was incredibly quick which helped bring urgency to Tottenham's attack.

He scythed down the right to connect to a cross midway through the first half and played an important part in the second goal as his initial shot got deflected off Mirante, only for Llorente to tap home the rebound.

What's more, he bagged a brace too. Both goals reeked quality, as he first brilliantly latched on to Serge Aurier's inch-perfect delivery, before netting again with a long shot that beat as many as 3 defenders on the way.

Moura would find more game time in the coming season should he continue to impress in the remaining friendlies too. Or even play a key role in Pochettino's plans.
