Russia 2018: Lamela puts pressure on Sampaoli with double for Tottenham [VIDEO]

Domingo 13 de Mayo del 2018

In one of the best matches of the weekend, Erik Lamela scored a brace and is fighting to be included in the list of 35 preselected players for the World Cup.

Fight until the last minute

Fight until the last minute. Erik Lamela took advantage of the last day of the Premier League and, just like Manuel Lanzini in West Ham vs Everton, scored two goals for his team, Tottenham, to win 5-4 against Leicester in an amazing match.

To the waiting for Jorge Sampaoli to announce the list of 35 preselected players to go to the 2018 Russia World Cup (which he would give on Monday morning), the former River Plate midfielder played as if to make sure the coach doesn't forget about him. Similarly, it seems that 'Sampaoli' will not include him in a list where Paulo Dybala, Mauro Icardi, among others, will be.

In other news, Premier League champions Manchester City finished the competition with 100 points thanks to their 1-0 victory over Southampton (17th), this Sunday in the 38th and final matchday, in which Liverpool (4th) secured their place for the next Champions League.

A goal from Brazilian Gabriel Jesus in stoppage time (90+3) allowed City to enter the legend of the best teams in the Premier League, reaching 100 points, the last record of a spectacular series for the team led by Pep Guardiola.

Players and coaching staff celebrated the goal in a big way. No team had reached a hundred points in the English top competition, even counting when it was played in 42 matchdays.
