Erik Lamela capped an excellent performance against table topping Manchester City with a goal to put sensationally put his side 4-1 up.

The Argentine has failed to win over the White Hart Lane faithful since his £30m mega money from Serie A giants Roma three years ago.

However, he has been involved in three of the goals in today's early kick-off, after Toby Alderweireld headed in his cross to put the home side 2-1 up.

He then won the free-kick after some good work outside the box, that led to Harry Kane netting his first goal of the season after Christian Eriksen rattled the bar.

The 23-year old then raced behind the City back line in order to round stand in shot stopper Willy Caballero to put his side 4-1 up.

Perhaps this is the start of something great for the player brought in during the infamous summer spending spree of 2013.

Gareth Bale who?
