Test your knowledge of these Tottenham players' market values! How much do you think Hugo Lloris is worth?

Despite these goals from Spurs’ attacking duo, it was Moura and his display that caught the attention of a lot of Tottenham fans, who were keen to share their thoughts and feelings on the Brazilian’s performance in the win.

So, what did these Spurs fans have to say about Moura’s performance against Palace?

“Lucas Moura produced another quality performance tonight. We wouldn’t have been able to win so comfortably without his contributions all over the pitch. Filling the void in AM”

@ReeceAC_

Lucas Moura thriving in the no.10 role. His pace and ability to turn over defence to attack quickly is crucial to the way Spurs play. Brilliant again, @LucasMoura7#TOTCRY #COYS

@HarryHotspurWHL

Lucas Moura deserves a mention tonight. He was exceptional. #COYS (COYS COYS COYS COYS)”

“Shoutout to Lucas Moura tonight thought he ran his socks off for the team”

@mattlewis09

Word for Lucas Moura, who was superb. Work rate was relentless. Looks a far better player through the middle #TOTCRY #COYS

Looking at these tweets from this group of Spurs fans, it’s obvious that they were over the moon with Moura and his performance in the win over Roy Hodgson’s team.

Do you think Moura had his best game of the season against Palace?

Yes

Yes

No

No

Given how Football.London gave the 28-year-old a match rating of 7/10 for his display against Palace, saying that he “worked tirelessly and while the end product wasn’t always there on the night, it was his running that made many of the team’s transitions tick,” this shows that these Spurs fans were justified in praising him for his efforts in this latest game.

Moving forward, Moura, who is valued at £22.5 million (as per Transfermarkt), and everyone else at the club will be undoubtedly be hoping that he can continue putting in performances as he did against Palace throughout the remainder of the season.
