Mauricio Pochettino will be thanking his lucky stars that he has Mousa Dembele in his ranks when he reflects on his side's impressive 2-2 draw with Juventus in Turin.
If Dembele was starting in midfield for the Old Lady on Tuesday night then Tottenham would have flown back to London with the advantage being in the Italian side's favour.
In fact, Pochettino should be ringing former White Hart Lane boss Andre Villas-Boas to personally thank the Portuguese for bringing Dembele to Tottenham for just £15million in 2012.
Dembele would be worth at least four times that fee in today's market because he is one of the best in the business at controlling a midfield and running at the opposition with his unique dribbling style.
