Lots of love for Erik Lamela's strike from the professional footballers community on social media:

QPR defender Max Ehmer: Wow, Lamela!
Former Spurs midfielder Jermaine Jenas: That was a joke from Lamela.
Crystal Palace defender Peter Ramage: Oh my god, oh my goooooooooood what have I just seen from Lamela?

Bradley Allen
BBC London 94.9 summariser

"That is something Lamela will have practised on the training ground."

gotta hand it to coco he's really captured the imagination of the midtier qpr community

if ever there was a time to fuck up the sweeper keeper it was 5-0 up in the europa

omg we typed the same number of os

Kane in goal!

followed shortly by ball in goal

he'd have been better off not trying to use his hands

mookie will have been unaware that Andy Townsend made the very same observation

surely that qualifies me to do commentary on american tv

lamelas goal. I remember trying it at training at Southampton and ended up tearing my medial. Know your strengths. Head it and kick it far

Asked about his lack of celebration, the Spurs manager said: "I only show emotion at home, and in my bed."

Wenger, mourinho startled

on reflection i think yday was the precise moment kane made his breakthrough as the new crouchie

just need sherwood back now spending 15m on berahino the new defoe to partner him

lol yeah loved that

the main thing i've liked about pochettino so far is he's really not been personally frustrated or even surly/grumpy in the dugout, he is literally just deeply deeply cheesed off with these hopeless cunts as if he'd had a season ticket for twenty years

Fergie really did instill a healthy disdain for Spurs in his players

the other side of ferguson's lack of time for essentially unserious teams is his real football man fondness for landfill like moyes and allardyce, and his biddable proteges like mcleish with a similar disdain for the notion that football is an entertaiment

Looks like Southampton's Head of Recruitment, Paul Mitchell, has resigned and there's a lot of noise about him heading to White Hart Lane, which suggests this might be the end of Baldini?

the author of this essential article doesnt seem to have noticed there is another tottenham player in the photo

for a notably large human being fazio does seem to be sort of inconspicuous, just vaguely lingering around the edges of things, always silent, sometimes glowering, nobody is clear what he is supposed to be ddoing

Oh shit...

Match suspended after three separate incidents of fans getting onto the pitch.

WTF? Partizan crazies I presume? Beats watching Celtic dying on their arses.

ITV is reporting that it is being orchestrated by phone from the Partizan support but I can't really see how they can know that.

The fans haven't been dangerous, just your standard exhibitionists, but it is odd.

Players coming back out now.

Jonathan Wilson on Twitter claimed that all three were wearing shirts advertising the company who makes the official THFC headphones.

yeh a couple of days ago Spurs official twitter account were running a competition with the BassBuds headphones as prizes. plenty of tweets from the company & associates trailing the planned disruption.

The stewards look like they're enjoying themselves.

Is there a suggestion that Spurs knew this would happen - with pitch invaders getting selfies with players while wearing sponsor's brand? It takes *way* too long for a steward to appear on the pitch.

Levy had a face like thunder while it was going on, tbh.

granted this might involve a degree of projection but the expression on Soldado's face - bottomless contempt mixed with his own continuing personal anguish - when he relieves the second pest of his shirt is kind of sublime

this is the worst shit ever

as well as having 100 fat middle aged men in fluorescent tabards, football teams could perhaps employ one person with ju-jitsu skills who can actually run

I know just the fellow

so harry kane is kind of a poor man's thomas muller

ok maybe bankrupt man's

sincerely hope levy is asking the legal team if they can sue these cunts for damages

was that the match where the lights 'went out' in the 89th minute?

not even

sincerely hope levy is asking the legal team if they can sue these cunts for damages

Assou-Ekotto has had a chequered career in English football and has fallen out with a number of Spurs managers since his arrival from Lens in 2006 for a reported £3.5million.

He has a particularly difficult relationship with Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and the pair have rarely agreed on various matter since his move to White Hart Lane.

He fell out with Tottenham earlier this year after it emerged that he had invited anti-Semitic comedian Dieudonne M’bala M’bala to a game at Tottenham, insisting he would ‘love it’.

Benoit Assou-Ekotto is being paid £40,000 a week by Tottenham despite not playing for the first team for more than 18 months.
