Lamela: "Family and football are the most important things in my life"

It’s a night that won’t live long in the memories of all those connected with Spurs but it was a huge step on the road to full recovery for Erik.

Trailing 2-0, the electronic board went up with number 11 on it after 77 minutes at the KP. Less than two minutes later, Erik provided the perfect pass for Harry Kane to rifle home for 2-1 and set up a grandstand finish. Erik was full of energy as we laid siege to the Leicester goal in search of an equaliser but that second goal proved elusive.

There was no hiding the team’s disappointment afterwards, but Erik had provided a silver lining.
