De rabona: Erik Lamela scored the best goal in the Premier League | Tottenham Hotspur | VIDEO | nczd | INTERNATIONAL

More than deserved. Erik Lamela won the award for the best goal of the season after scoring with rabona against Arsenal. It was a particular day for the Argentine because, despite opening the scoring in the North London derby in an impressive way, he ended up expelled by double yellow card – in 69 ‘and then in 76’.

The Premier League published on its official social networks the decision made by the specialists in charge of voting on it: “Totally sensational. Erik Lamela, the audacious goal of the rabona is your 2020/21, goal of the season ”.

The goal came after a control by Lucas Moura behind the goal, the Brazilian placed the ball at Lamela’s feet, who scored with his rabona and with a pipe included Thomas Partey. Despite this, Tottenham ended up losing the game 1-2 over Arsenal, who achieved the feat with goals from Odegaard and Lacazette. It should be noted that the Argentine was expelled after the comeback.

It was not his first rabona. In 2014 he made one in the Europa League for Spurs against Greece’s Asteras Tripolis at White Hart Lane. With Lamela’s goal against Arsenal, Tottenham achieved the goal of the season for the second year in a row. In 2019-20 the Korean Heung-Min Son did it after a spectacular individual play in a match against Burnley.

Coach of the Year and MVP

In addition to the Argentine’s goal, the Premier League chose Pep Guardiola as the best coach of the season and defender Rúben Dias as the MVP. Both managed to win the English league with Manchester City. Three titles in four years for the Catalan DT.
