#3 Eric Lamela

Lamela arrived Tottenham in 2013 after starring for Roma and while he might have shone on occasion, his White Hart Lane career has been hampered by injury.

The 27-year-old was handed a start against Juventus and he was everywhere, embarking on his trademark runs forward, with his skills and trickery proving too much for the Juventus backline and De Sciglio in particular.

He opened the scoring in the 30th minute off a Buffon parried shot and could have had more goals to his name but for some brilliant defending in the box.

At the start of the second half, the Argentine international was one of a few bright sparks for Tottenham as their Italian opponents rose to the ascendancy and was the progenitor of an exquisite cross into the box which Harry Kane should have buried right after Juventus equalized.

If Eric Lamela can remain fit, there is no doubt about his quality and his performance against Juventus served as a timely reminder of just how good he is.
