Top ten quickest Premier League goals from substitutes, including Tottenham star Lucas Moura’s header against Man City
On Saturday, Lucas Moura proved once again why he has been a solid signing for Tottenham Hotspur.
Despite having a slow start to his Spurs career, the pacy forward has proved to be a useful acquisition in Mauricio Pochettino's squad.
Yes, he has off days, but you could not say he does not give his all for his side every time he steps onto the field.
And that was no different over the weekend when he made an immediate impact off the bench in Spurs' 2-2 draw at Man City.
The visitors were being dominated throughout the match but the nifty Brazilian equalled for his side after rising highest to head home from a corner - just NINETEEN seconds after coming onto the pitch.
