What Tottenham star Lucas Moura did on injury return in North London Derby clash vs Arsenal

Tottenham star Lucas Moura has marked his return from injury with a delightful close-range finish for Spurs' Under-21 team in their North London Derby against Arsenal. The Brazilian attacker has not played for the club since the 4-3 Premier League win over Leeds before the World Cup commenced in November.

A tendon injury has been plaguing the 30-year-old for much of the 2022/23 season which has seen him feature for only 266 minutes this season. However, Tottenham confirmed he would be taking a significant step towards recovery by taking part in Spurs' U21 fixture against Arsenal on Friday evening.

Amario Cozier-Duberry put the Gunners ahead after just 20 minutes, but Lucas cancelled out that early goal with an equaliser just six minutes later. A cross arrived from the right and making a late surge into the box, Lucas was able to meet the ball perfectly on the volley to level the game at Meadow Park.
