Lamela, 28, has emerged as a first-team regular under Spurs boss Jose Mourinho after featuring in eight competitive matches in all competitions already this season.

Mourinho is known for his physical demands on his players, but perhaps even the Portuguese mastermind wouldn’t have appreciated seeing Lamela’s horror tackle on Burnley’s McNeil during his side’s 1-0 Premier League win last night.

The South American attacker went in hard on McNeil with his studs clearly visible and whilst Sean Dyche’s leading midfielder was receiving treatment, Lamela added insult to injury by pinching the Burnley water bottle.
