Lucas Moura was amazed by Erik Lamela's wonder goal in Tottenham's defeat to Arsenal.

Lamela came off the bench to replace the injured Son Heung-min and opened the scoring in Sunday's north London derby with a sublime Rabona finish which even left some of his own team-mates agog.

But the Argentinian went from hero to zero as he was sent off in the second half, picking up two yellow cards in six minutes after Spurs had fallen behind.

A deflected Martin Odegaard effort and an Alexandre Lacazette penalty proved enough for Arsenal to take all three points, even if Lamela's goal had threatened to steal the show.

“It was an unbelievable goal," said Moura.

“I think he has already scored a goal like this but in a derby it is special and he is an amazing player.

“He does this in the training sessions all of the time but we are unlucky that we didn't win the game because with this goal, if we had won, it would have been even more special."
