In being dismissed, Lamela became the first player to both score and be sent off in a Premier League game for Spurs in almost a decade - the last being Emmanuel Adebayor in November 2012, which also came against the Gunners. The Spurs capitulation was then completed in the 76th minute when Lamela brought his mercurial appearance to a premature end by picking up two bookings in the space of just seven minutes. Unfortunately, things soon started to unravel for Jose Mourinho's side as Arsenal first equalised then nudged ahead, thanks to goals from Martin Odegaard (44') and Alexandre Lacazette (64' pen). It's fair to say that Arsenal's social media team were far less enthused, affording Lamela's wonder goal just six perfunctory words. It would appear that nobody was more shocked that Spurs left-back Sergio Reguilon, who looked completely and utterly aghast while celebrating with his teammate. With the ball bobbling around in the Arsenal penalty area, Lamela sussed his moment, scissored his feet and poked a low shot through the crowd and inside the far post. Indeed, the 29-year-old forward had barely been thrust into the action when he broke the deadlock on the half hour, putting Spurs ahead with an ingenious rabona finish. Having originally being named on the bench, Lamela was summoned to replace the injured Son Heung-Min after just 19 minutes. Tottenham Hotspur ultimately fell to a 2-1 defeat against Arsenal in the north London derby, but a spark of spontaneous skill from Erik Lamela at least ensured the vanquished visitors opened the scoring in style. There were 21 goals scored in the Premier League over the weekend and there can be little doubt as to who scored the pick of the bunch.
