One of the most famous goals in the history of the competition came in the 2014/15 edition, during a match between Tottenham Hotspur and Asteras Tripoli. In the 29th minute, with his team already up by a goal, Erik Lamela of Tottenham Hotspur received a pass above a yard or so off the edge of the box in the center of the goal. Cutting in from the left, the situation called for a right footed shot, but Lamela, as left-footed as a player can be, had other ideas. Taking it first time, Lamela planted his right foot, wrapped his left foot around his right, and sent the ball curling into the top corner of the goal. Lamela’s rabona was merely one part of Spurs 5-1 win that day, which became even more memorable in the 87th minute, when Spurs’ goalkeeper Hugo Lloris was given a red card. Because Spurs had used all three of their subs, an outfield player replaced Lloris in goal, donning his goalie’s jersey and gloves, and immediately conceding the ensuing free kick. Who was Spurs emergency goaltender in this game, a young player whose career breakout began in this season’s Europa League?
Harry Kane
