Lucas Moura hits hat-trick as makeshift Spurs make light work of Huddersfield
Tottenham believe they are on the brink of a piece of modern-day history and it has certainly been difficult to keep a lid on the excitement that is building ahead of the Champions League quarter-final, second leg at Manchester City on Wednesday night. Spurs hold a 1-0 lead from the first leg.
As such, the visit of an already relegated Huddersfield team felt like a distraction; an irritation, even. It added up to a test of Spurs’s mentality, which Mauricio Pochettino has had cause to criticise on a few occasions this season. The points were still imperative to the club’s top four aspirations.
