After crashing out of the FA Cup fifth round in mid-week to fellow Premier League side Norwich, Tottenham were in desperate need of a pick-me-up on Saturday.

And whilst they didn't manage to claim all three points against Burnley, Jose Mourinho's side did put in a battling display to secure a draw at Turf Moor.

They made almost double the amount of clearances as the home side (37 to 19), and had to produce a strong rearguard action to ensure Hugo Lloris wasn't beaten more than once.

But one man who appeared to go missing during his time on the pitch, was Erik Lamela - even despite him being the man to win the penalty for the north London side's equaliser.

The Argentine has been in and out of the team in recent weeks in the top-flight, and has completed the full 90 minutes just once in Spurs' last ten games.

And against Burnley, he cut a isolated figure. As per Sofascore, he had just one shot on goal, attempted no crosses whatsoever, and made a measly 18 passes in 78 minutes worth of action.

The game just seemed to pass Lamela by, and he struggled to get involved in Spurs' attacks. His total of 37 touches reflected how little influence the Argentine had on the wider context of the game, whilst he lost ten of 13 total duels.

Barring him coming to life just minutes into the second-half to win Mourinho's side a penalty, the ace was virtually anonymous on the day. With the Lilywhites without both Harry Kane and Heung-min Son, they desperately need their remaining attacking options to step up to the plate in the duo's absence.

Instead, Lamela failed to take his chance, and it wouldn't be any surprise at all if Mourinho decides to drop him back to the bench just as he has done in recent Premier League fixtures.

Meanwhile, Tottenham's potential swoop for Ryan Fraser could be bad news for this player.
