Erik Lamela’s incredible ‘rabona’ against Arsenal has won The FIFA Puskas Award for best goal at The Best FIFA Football Awards 2021.
‘Coco’, now of Spanish side Sevilla, who he joined in the summer after eight years and 257 appearances at Spurs, made it into the top three goals earlier this month alongside strikes from from Patrick Schick (for Czech Republic against Scotland at Euro 2020) and Mehdi Taremi (for Porto away to Chelsea in the Champions League). He was revealed as the winner in Monday evening’s FIFA ceremony.
It means we’re the first club to claim the Puskas Award in successive seasons after Heung-Min Son took the title in 2020 for his magnificent solo effort against Burnley in December, 2019.
