‘Playing out of skin’: Some Spurs fans drool over ‘excellent’ player vs Aston Villa – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur kept their Premier League top-four hopes alive with a brilliant 2-0 win against Aston Villa on Sunday evening.
Spurs bounced back from their mid-week shock defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League to secure all three points at Villa Park.
Carlos Vinicius opened the scoring in the first-half for Spurs while Harry Kane added another in the second half to ensure the north Londoners climb to sixth in the standings, three points behind Chelsea in fourth.
Many Leeds fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to the performance of Lucas Moura.
The 28-year-old has arguably been Spurs’ best player in recent weeks, and he once again produced a fantastic performance against Villa.
And following the win, he took to social media to express his delight at reaching 150 games for the club.
The Brazilian made eight ball recoveries and created four chances during the game. Plus, he provided the assist for Vinicius for the opening goal.
Here are some of the selected tweets from the Spurs fans on Moura’s performance:

Boy did we need that. Three points on the road after an utterly dreadful week. Lucas Moura was excellent, Harry did what Harry does, and we go into the international break with a win. Up the Spurs. #COYS pic.twitter.com/8vzOcsfQAe

Lucas Moura doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He’s stepped up a lot in recent matches and is having a very good game again tonight

Moura is playing out of skin to keep Mourinho in a job. As he won’t start a game under a proper manager.

After the disappointing exit in the Europa League, Tottenham will have to focus on finishing in the top-four this season.
In other news, David Ornstein has suggested that he doesn’t think Kane will leave Spurs in the summer transfer window.
