Lucas preferred to Llorente as Spurs face Dortmund


Lucas Moura started for Tottenham in place of Fernando Llorente as Mauricio Pochettino put his faith in the Brazilian for Wednesday’s Champions League last 16 first leg against Borussia Dortmund. With Harry Kane still ruled out due to injury, Tottenham boss Pochettino opted to drop Spanish target man Llorente and go with the pace of Lucas alongside Son Heung-min in his attack. Llorente had started Sunday’s 3-1 win over Leicester in the Premier League and had scored twice in his last five appearances.
