LUCAS MOURA WAS the hero for Tottenham on Wednesday night, with the Brazilian scoring an incredible second-half hat-trick to book his side’s place in the final of the Champions League.
First-half goals from Matthijs de Ligt and Hakim Ziyech saw Ajax command a 3-0 aggregate lead at half-time, as Spurs’ hopes looked dead and buried heading into the interval.
However three goals, two in the space of five minutes and a third in the 96th minute, saw Moura turn the semi-final on it’s head — breaking Ajax hearts in dramatic fashion with a low finish into Andre Onana’s bottom corner in the final seconds of stoppage time.
You can watch all of Moura’s goals below.
COMEBACK IS ON!
