Spurs news: Lucas Moura becomes fourth Brazilian to score hat-trick in Premier League history
Tottenham made light work of Huddersfield on Saturday as they ran out 4-0 winners at the new stadium.
Victor Wanyama opened the scoring for a much-changed Spurs side in the first half. Lucas Moura then doubled the lead before bagging a late brace to complete his hat-trick.
The Brazilian has had an up and down season for Tottenham but showed his class against the Terriers.
Lucas might not have scored many goals this season but his achievement on Saturday put him in a select group of players.

Roberto Firmino and Robinho would be Brazilian names that most would know but Afonso Alves is the surprise as the former Middlesbrough attacker scored a hat-trick against Manchester City.

The hat-trick against Huddersfield should give Lucas a boost for the remainder of the season. Tottenham are without Harry Kane for a while and Dele Alli is also nursing a broken hand.
The Brazilian needs to step up as we face Manchester City twice in a few days. We have to avoid defeat at the Etihad in midweek to make it to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Lucas also scored in the 2-1 loss to Liverpool a couple of weeks ago and was one of our best players at Anfield.

The former PSG star has 12 goals in all competitions and hopefully, he finishes the season with a few more strikes to his name.
