Tottenham ended their run of three straight defeats with a 2-1 victory against Brighton in the Premier League clash on Saturday.
Harry Kane scored from the spot in the first half after a Glenn Murry handball. Spurs doubled the lead after the break when Erik Lamela scored a brilliant goal.
Anthony Knockaert pulled one back in stoppage time but Spurs did well to preserve the lead.
A lot of Tottenham supporters took to Twitter after the match to praise Lamela for his brilliant performance. Here are some of the best reactions on Twitter:
Over the summer, I’ve softened towards Lamela.
Man has a footballing brain like Stephen Hawking. Unfortunately he has his body also

Lamela our best player lately, deserves to start over players not at their best

Massive season for him after so many injuries, he always works hard, but this really is a make or break year. So far so good.

The 26-year-old joined Spurs from Roma in 2013 for a then club-record £30m and has been a divisive figure among the fans.
Earlier this year, Lamela signed a new contract at Tottenham which keeps him at the club until 2022, and he has been brilliant this season so far.
He has made a strong impact from the bench this season, and was superb against Brighton as well. He started and finished the move for Spurs’ second goal, picking up a low cross from Danny Rose.
His finish was inch-perfect and changed the game completely.
