Erik Lamela's completely crazy. In the London classic between Arsenal and Tottenham, for the 27th date of the Premier League, the Argentine midfielder for Spurs scored what will undoubtedly be the goal of 2021: from rabona between the legs to open the account as a visitor. Yes, as he read: in a city derby he was encouraged to score in that style. Crazy! 

The situation occurred about 32 minutes into the first half, when the Argentine - who had entered from the substitute bench at 19 minutes for Son - received the ball in the area from Lucas Moura. The pass was a bit uncomfortable for him, but his reaction was quick and classy: he defined a rabona between the legs of Thomas Partey and thus decreed 1-0 for the visiting team.

The ex-River Plate celebration was wild and he was soon embraced by his companions, some of whom put their hands to their heads in a clear gesture of disbelief at the maneuver that he had "taken out of the galley" to open the marker. This was the second conquest of him in the English contest so far.

Erik Lamela's happiness was short-lived

However, the joy did not last long for Tottenham. At 44 minutes, a few seconds before going to half-time, Martin Odegaard scored against his own fence and put Arsenal in a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium. Already in the second half, around 20 minutes, Alexandre Lacazette scored a penalty to reverse the score and seal the definitive triumph of the team led by Mikel Arteta.

What had started as a promising match for Lamela, ended up being a true nightmare: his team not only lost, but he was sent off with a double warning 15 minutes before the end of the match. The second yellow was for a hard elbow.
