Lamela put Spurs 2-0 up against Swansea in the FA Cup. Twitter

The Argentine struck late in the first half to send Spurs into the break with a comfortable two goal cushion in their FA Cup tie with Swansea.

After Christian Eriksen struck to put Spurs 1-0 up, the baton was passed on to Erik Lamela to extend his side's lead.

And you'd have thought the Argentine was visiting Madame Tussauds... Lamela picked the ball up deep in the Swansea half, ghosted past some stauesque defending and then neatly prodded the ball past a deeply-rooted Kristoffer Nordfelt. 

A calamity of errors from the Swans let Lamela pounce. 2-0 and Pochettino's men looked to be sailing on to the semi-finals.
