Argentina star Erik Lamela scored a memorable wonder goal while Harry Kane grabbed a hat-trick before taking over in goal as Tottenham beat Asteras Tripolis 5-1 in the Europa League Thursday.
The only person who wasn't moved by the spectacular effort was manager Mauricio Pochettino, who showed no emotion as his coaching staff leapt to their feet.
The Argentine manager has been credited with helping his fellow countryman rediscover his form following disappointing first season.
Lamela arrived at White Hart Lane from Roma in August 2013, having scored 15 goals in Serie A the previous season.
His arrival paved the way for Gareth Bale’s £86m departure to Real Madrid and inevitable comparisons were drawn between the pair.
But while Bale excelled at the Bernabeu, winning the Champions League and the Copa del Rey in his first season, Lamela toiled in England.
But Lamela has begun to show glimpses of his talent this season and he scored again in the 66th minute with a crisp first-time volley.
Harry Kane went one better by scoring a hat-trick in a 5-1 victory.
